The Ultimate Git Alias Setup

If you use git on the command-line, you'll eventually find yourself wanting aliases for your most commonly-used commands. It's incredibly useful to be able to explore your repos with only a few keystrokes that eventually get hardcoded into muscle memory.

Some people don't add aliases because they don't want to have to adjust to not having them on a remote server. Personally, I find that having aliases doesn't mean I that forget the underlying commands, and aliases provide such a massive improvement to my workflow that it would be crazy not to have them.

The simplest way to add an alias for a specific git command is to use a standard bash alias.

# .bashrc

	var fs = require("fs")
	var ssl_options = {
	key: fs.readFileSync('privatekey.pem'),
	cert: fs.readFileSync('certificate.pem')
	};

	var port = process.env.PORT \|\| 3000;
	var express = require('express');
	var ejs = require('ejs');
	var passport = require('passport')

	# create a file C:\Users\[user]\.bashrc
	# add this content
	# add your onw aliases or changes these ones as you like
	# to make a dot (.bashrs) file in windows, create a file ".bashrs." (without extention) and save. windows will save it as ".bashrc"

	alias ls='ls -alh'
	alias cdnginx='cd /c/nginx && ls'
	alias cdmcga='cd /c/Users/[user]/sbox/node/mcga && ls'
	alias cdfood9='cd /c/Users/[user]/sbox/node/food9 && ls'
	alias cdmysql='cd /c/nginx/mysql/bin && ls'

	.sr-only {
	position: absolute;
	width: 1px;
	height: 1px;
	padding: 0;
	margin: -1px;
	overflow: hidden;
	clip: rect(0,0,0,0);
	border: 0;
