Git Alias

Hi folks ๐Ÿ–!! In this Blog I will tell you about Git aliases.
Git aliases are like custom shortcuts for frequently used commands, making your code shorter and more concise. They help save time and streamline your workflow, allowing developers to focus on more productive tasks. These aliases are stored in Git configuration files, enhancing code readability and efficiency.

Example : Here's an example of a simple Git alias that shortens a common Git command:

Let's say you frequently use the git status command to check the status of your repository. You can create a simple Git alias to make this command shorter:

git config --global alias.st status

Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

With this alias set, you can now check the status of your repository using the alias like this:

git st

Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

This will have the same effect as running git status, but it's shorter and more convenient. Simple Git aliases like this can save you time and make your workflow more efficient.
