Shortened aliases come from cvs/svn land, sorting tags by a logical manner, adding some extra archive types for "git archive", making it so git log always shows my local time zone, pull will never do a non-ff merge, make it so Git doesn't complain about repositories in places it doesn't like, turning off an annoying message about a detached HEAD state, and shut git up about the default branch.

  Yeah, I didn't do aliases on purpose, because I wanted everything to be fairly global, where I feel like aliases are more personal. But yes, aliases are great.

    as for me, I want something more. Like git shell. Where I no need to write git, git, git again and again. Strange that there is no something like this yet.

      Dont the many git TUI clients (tig, lazygit, ...) work like that with keybindings?

        yes, but I prefer writing status, stash, checkout, commit hand by) So, the more I think about my previous comment the less sense I see in such feature :)

Do your aliases even save you any keystrokes? Most shells support auto complete, and you still have to type "git" unless you have a shell alias for it. I guess what I'm git-ing at is a truly efficient alias would be embedded in the shell. For a while I had "gsno = git status --uno" although it's been so long since I used it, I forget what the options even did. Somehow I get by with only stock commands. Another helpful alias I used to use was ctrl-space, I had aliased for 'make'. Somehow I liked it because you can almost gesture it with slamming both hands down simultaneously.

  I have a load of these shell aliases as I spend a frankly ridiculous amount of time messing with git. `g` is `git status`, `d` is `git diff`, `gad` is `git add`, `ds` is `git diff --staged`, `gg` is `git grep`, `gbv` is `git branch -va`
