My own ~/.gitconfig looks like this:

    [alias]
     co = checkout
     ci = commit
     st = status
     br = branch
     hist = log --pretty=format:'%h %ad | %s%d [%an]' --graph --date=short
     type = cat-file -t
     dump = cat-file -p
     dft = difftool
    [tag]
     sort = version:refname
    [tar "tar.xz"]
     command = xz -c
    [tar "tar.zst"]
     command = zstd -T0 -c
    [log]
     date = iso-local
    [pull]
     ff = only
    [diff]
     tool = difftastic
    [safe]
     directory = *
    [advice]
     detachedHead = false
    [init]
     defaultBranch = master

Do your aliases even save you any keystrokes? Most shells support auto complete, and you still have to type "git" unless you have a shell alias for it.

I guess what I'm git-ing at is a truly efficient alias would be embedded in the shell. For a while I had "gsno = git status --uno" although it's been so long since I used it, I forget what the options even did. Somehow I get by with only stock commands.

Another helpful alias I used to use was ctrl-space, I had aliased for 'make'. Somehow I liked it because you can almost gesture it with slamming both hands down simultaneously.

I have a load of these shell aliases as I spend a frankly ridiculous amount of time messing with git. `g` is `git status`, `d` is `git diff`, `gad` is `git add`, `ds` is `git diff --staged`, `gg` is `git grep`, `gbv` is `git branch -va`

Shortened aliases come from cvs/svn land, sorting tags by a logical manner, adding some extra archive types for "git archive", making it so git log always shows my local time zone, pull will never do a non-ff merge, make it so Git doesn't complain about repositories in places it doesn't like, turning off an annoying message about a detached HEAD state, and shut git up about the default branch.

Yeah, I didn't do aliases on purpose, because I wanted everything to be fairly global, where I feel like aliases are more personal. But yes, aliases are great.

[feelamee]

as for me, I want something more. Like git shell. Where I no need to write git, git, git again and again. Strange that there is no something like this yet.

[desperatecuban]

Dont the many git TUI clients (tig, lazygit, ...) work like that with keybindings?

[feelamee]

yes, but I prefer writing status, stash, checkout, commit hand by) So, the more I think about my previous comment the less sense I see in such feature :)
