In previous articles I showed how to configure aliases
in your ~/.gitconfig
file.
As you might have noticed you need to type git alias
which might be inconvenient. Even if you make an alias g=git
you have to remember to type space between g
and alias
.
To make things easier we can automatically generate shell aliases from the .gitconfig
file:
here we grep all the git
config values from alias
section and get the alias
name with sed
. Then we check that alias g
+ alias name doesn't already exist and set it.
Now, if you had for instance alias a = add
you can type both g a
and ga
.
That's it.
