✳ Create a global alias using Git Bash

Open a Git Bash terminal and make sure you're in your user's location using the following command:
```
cd ~
```
Run the following command to create or configure your profile:
```
notepad .bash_profile
```
If you haven't created this file yet, you'll be prompted to create a new one; confirm and proceed.
Inside the .bash_profile file, you can add your first alias. For example:
```
alias g='git'
```
When you save the changes, this will set a global alias "g" for the "git" command.
Now you can use this alias in any Git project on your system. For example, instead of typing git -v, simply type:
```
g -v
```
If you forget any of your aliases, you can view the complete list by running the following command:
```
alias
```

Note: These steps are not applicable to terminals like CMD or PowerShell since the configurations are specific to Git Bash and won't reflect in other terminals. Each terminal environment has its independent configurations.
