A few more: Change the comment character. This is useful when you want to include a hash in your commit message (e.g. for automatically linking to JIRA tickets). [core] commentChar = ";" When starting a new branch/ticket you can create an empty commit where you write a detailed subject and description. [alias] newtask = commit --allow-empty Create a zip archive of the current files. [alias] zip = archive -o latest.zip HEAD Switch between the last two active branches with: git checkout - Use short log lines: [format] pretty = format:%C(yellow)%h %Cblue%>(12)%ad %Cgreen%<(7)%aN%Cred%d %Creset%s Some delta tweaks: [delta] features = decorations # line numbers navigate = true # use n and N to move between diff sections And finally: [alias] praise = blame
