The best thing I did to help me get into using git was set up some aliases, to make it at least pretend it was like Mercurial and only needed the bare minimum number of characters to complete a command (in ~/.gitconfig): [alias] st = status d = diff ci = commit sh = stash co = checkout ps = push pl = pull cp = cherry-pick

I'd find cp much too unintuitive as an abbreviation for cherry-pick to use; less so but likewise with sh for stash. I like the aliases at http://ruderich.org/simon/config/gitconfig http://ruderich.org/simon/config/gitconfig though I'd call "fsck --strict --full" fsf.

  I alias `cherry-pick` to `chp`.

  `cp` for `cherry-pick` fits how I think about git and cherry-picking -- I'm copying a patch from one branch into another, aren't I?

    Maybe "cpc" for "copy cherry" then?

git-sh is a pretty cool script for this sort of thing (although not aimed at similarity to mercurial): https://github.com/rtomayko/git-sh https://github.com/rtomayko/git-sh
