After having used git for a few years, I identified what commands I use most frequently and have created two-letter aliases for these; alias st='git status' # STatus alias dp='git diff' # Diff Pending alias aa='git add .' # Add All alias di='git diff --cached' # DIff alias cm='git commit -m' # CoMmit alias pu='git push' # PUsh I've added comments above to show you what I think in my head when I type the two-letter alias in question. I have a few other two-letter aliases for git as well but the ones above cover about 80% of my use I think. For the remaining 20% I usually type the command out fully even if I have an alias for it, because those less-frequently used commands are harder to remember the aliases for, whereas the aliases that cover the 80%, I have those in my fingers now without having to think about it.
