Setting up an Alias
Repeating the same git commands over and over again can be such a waste of time! And some of the most powerful ones ...

main.Let's say
git logshows something like this:This output might be alright for few commits, but if there are more than a dozen, it starts getting polluted. The output of
git ldis this:OBS: I took most of this code from a StackOverflow answer that I cannot find. If I do find, I will edit to include the source.
Looks really useful, thanks for sharing!
I have seen these aliases before 😜
Yep, talking with you the other day gave me the idea for making this video aaaand I may or may not have borrowed an alias or two from the ones you showed me :D
Actually, most of the ideas for videos and articles come directly from chatting with colleagues and friends, so, thank you! 😉
If you wanna new ideas for your content or you wanna help with something you know where I am! 🙂

Thanks.
Glad to hear you found my video useful
