I use git a lot for work and other projects, so I invested the time in creating some high quality aliases that really work for me. These just go in your bash profile (~/.bash_profile or ~/.bashrc or ~/.profile depending on your OS).

I see a lot of people go overboard with aliases, and then end up not using them. They're meant to cover 95% of the commands I use, not 100%.

alias gcam='git commit -am'
alias gs='git status'
alias gplr='git pull --rebase'
alias gpsh='git push'
alias gpo='git push -u origin `git symbolic-ref --short HEAD`'
