The .gitconfig file in the b-it-bots/dotfiles repository contains some useful aliases to use with git.

Installation

You can copy the contents of the file to the global ~/.gitconfig if you want to use them in all your repositories (recommended).

If you only want to use them in the MAS repositories, copy them to the .git/config in your local copy.

Usage

You can use git aliases like this:

git <alias>
