Git Aliases Setup

Learn how to create Git aliases to speed up your workflow by shortening common Git commands.

Setting Up Git Aliases for Faster Workflow

Git aliases let you create shortcuts for frequently used commands, saving time and typing effort. This lesson shows how to define and use Git aliases.

Creating Simple Aliases

Use git config --global alias.name command to create an alias. For example:

git config --global alias.st status
git config --global alias.co checkout
git config --global alias.br branch

Now, git st runs git status.

Using Aliases

Once set, aliases behave like normal Git commands:

git st
git co main
git br

Listing All Aliases

View all configured aliases with:

git config --get-regexp alias

Summary

Aliases simplify your Git experience. Customize your most-used commands to speed up everyday tasks.
