Git Optimization Aliases Save 100,000 Keystrokes A Year

Git Optimization Aliases Save 100,000 Keystrokes A Year

Typing git over and over gets tedious very fast. 😩 You can save 100,000 keystrokes per year by adding these aliases to Terminal 📟. Now you can type status instead of git status, fetch instead of git fetch, checkout instead of git checkout, and so on. This list does not include all git commands, just the ones I use most often. Add any others you frequently use to save even more keystrokes.

How did I come up with 100,000? That's 100 git commands per day, 5 days a week, times 50 weeks a year, times 4 characters (g-i-t- ), 100*5*50*4=100,000. 👨‍🏫

Some commands can't be added such as git log and git diff because these programs already exist. There's not much more to it. Enjoy all the time you saved... on a beach 🏖️ with a cocktail 🍹.
