git alias

Here I’m just jotting down some handy git aliases I’ve become accustomed to use.

Note: shown example output is for the spring-integration-samples repository.

Git status abbreviated

git config --global alias.s status

Example output:

$ git s
On branch master
Your branch is up-to-date with 'origin/master'.

nothing to commit, working tree clean

Git log enhanced with bells and whistles

Shows list of commits, using abbreviated commit ids, full comment, and branch graph decorated with tag and branch names

git config --global alias.ll "log --abbrev-commit --graph --decorate"

Example output:

$ git ll
...

Git log enhanced with bells and whistles (short form)

Shows list of commits in one line format, using abbreviated commit ids, first line of comment, and branch graph decorated with tag and branch names

git config --global alias.l "log --format=oneline --abbrev-commit --graph --decorate"

Example output:
