If you use git from the command line you can improve your usage experience by altering your git config file wich is called “.gitconfig”. Find that file in your home folder.
You can for example turn on color and add some handy shortcuts. Here is what I use:
[color] branch = auto diff = auto interactive = auto status = auto [alias] st = status ci = commit aa = add -A b = branch co = checkout |
It is also possible to alter the gitconfig from the commandline. The settings above would then look like this:
git config --global color.branch auto git config --global color.diff auto git config --global color.interactive auto git config --global color.status auto git config --global alias.st status git config --global alias.ci commit git config --global alias.aa 'add -A' git config --global alias.b branch git config --global alias.co checkout |
