I get a bad config file error when I copy the aliases into my .gitconfig.

Edit: Something to do with copy/pasting from the browser. Cloning the gist repository and copying directly in vim works fine.

It might have been those UTF-8 ellipses: "…"

Good to hear that you got it resolved, but are you sure that your character encoding settings are alright?

Hmm, worked fine for me with Vim copying directly from the browser. Perhaps some sort of :set paste weirdness?
