tiny mistakes can have huge consequences Yes, that's why we are not discussing the creation of easily typed aliases for "rm -rf". That would be bad. Instead we are discussing aliases for a bunch of fairly innocent Git commands, most of which are reversible in case of catastrophic accident. I admit that I do have a four-character abbreviation for "git reset --hard". Maybe that will burn me one day, though I rarely pile up so many uncommitted changes that I have much at risk. Or maybe I'll make that shortcut a little longer.
