Here’s some useful git configurations and aliases. The way you make a git alias is as follows:
$git config --global alias.co checkout$git config --global alias.br branch$git config --global alias.ci commit$git config --global alias.st status
You can use git config to also set various items such as the diff.tool, which uses gvimdiff whenever you use git difftool. This makes the diffs much more visually understandable since you can scroll and see more context.
color.ui=auto diff.tool=gvimdiff alias.loga=log --oneline -15 --graph --decorate --all alias.rev=remote -v alias.lst=ls-tree --abbrev -l HEAD core.pager=less -r
