.bash_aliases
I never like typing long commands, especially the git ones since I used git extensively throughout my day.
So, I make an alias for any command which seems to be long enough for me. It makes the life a lot easier. To try it, copy paste the contents into a file called .bash_aliases(You can name the file whatever) and load it into the current bash session by typing the following.
source [path_to_bash_aliases_file]
If you want the aliases to be available in every session of the terminal, open(or create if it doesn't exist already) .bash_profile(for Macos) or .bashrc(for Linux) present in the home directory (~/.bashrc or ~/.bash_profile). At the bottom of the file, write-
source [path_to_bash_aliases_file]
Save it and close the file.
If you open a new terminal from now onwards, all the aliases will be available in every session.
Short forms of the commands that you can use alongwith explanation.
gs => git status
gd => git diff
gcm => git commit -m (use it as gcm "This is a sample commit")
gp => git push
gpull => git pull
gcheckout => git checkout (use it as gcheckout -b new_branch)
add_to_path => to add a file to the environment (use it as add_to_path sample_file)
Many more aliases will be added. Stay tuned
