We could get aliases that get slowly incorporated into git. Like, let's say git undo instead of git reflog, or things like that. It would not be too difficult to support a couple of names to do the same thing and let people use the one they prefer.
- jampekka 3y agoWe are slowly getting those. For example there's now git restore (and git switch) to fix the god-awful overloaded checkout. When you get your repo into a state that needs reflog, it's probably not amenable to very straightforward commands. A bigger problem is that it's a bit "too easy" to get into that kind of state. The original git interface wasn't really intended for "general use" and there was supposed to be the friendlier "porcelain" on top of the lower level "plumbing". But people started to use the plumbing directly and the porcelain never came to be.
