That is good stuff, the only issue with this is that if you become dependent on these specific commands and you have to use a different environment (someone else's machine) you could forget the actual commands.

I use text expander on osx to do similar things with common git commands.

Just something to keep in mind. 😁

Oh yeah, for sure. I strongly advocate learning the commands before making an alias. But if you switch workspaces as much as I do, I'm creating aliases as much as I'm typing the full command.

You could always quickly source your alias config from let's say a gist.
