title: Wiki Git Aliases
|

|

For most developers, a lot of our time is spent in Terminal and a majority of it is spent typing Git commands. We've created a set of keyboard shortcuts with Bash aliases and functions to speed up your workflow and save hundreds of keystrokes every day.

|
|
Git allows you to set aliases but they're limited and only save you a few keystrokes (i.e. instead of git checkout you can type git co, but you still have to type git). Since Bash is Terminal's default command-line interpreter, you can also set Bash aliases to reduce your keystrokes even further.
|
|
|
|
Here's a list of Git Bash aliases and functions. To use them as your own, just add them to the file you store your aliases/functions in. (i.e. `~/.bash_profile` or `~/.bashrc`)

When copy & pasting, it's important to keep the spacing. (i.e. for aliases, there must be no spaces before and after the equal signs, and for functions, there must be a space after the opening curly bracket of the declaration and a semicolon after the command. Don't forget to reload your file (source `~/.bash_profile`) or restart Terminal after making changes. |
