  • I certainly see the value in this strategy! But I’m not going to give up my top-level aliases. I enjoy saving two keystrokes too much!

    Here are my most used aliases (these ones use Nushell syntax):

    alias st = git status
    alias sw = git switch
    alias ci = git commit
    alias lg = git log --color --graph '--pretty=format:%Cred%h%Creset -%C(yellow)%d%Creset %s %Cgreen(%cr) %C(bold blue)<%an>%Creset' --abbrev-commit
    alias push = git push
    

    I was also delighted to learn that I could get the same short aliases for corresponding fugitive commands in vim/neovim using the vim-alias plugin:

    -- This is a lazy.nvim plugin module
    return {
      'Konfekt/vim-alias',
      config = function()
        -- Shortcuts for git operations to match some of the shell aliases I have.
        -- For example, `:sw ` expands to `:Git switch `
        vim.cmd [[Alias sw Git\ switch]]
        vim.cmd [[Alias ci Git\ commit]]
        vim.cmd [[Alias pull Git\ pull]]
        vim.cmd [[Alias push Git\ push]]
        vim.cmd [[Alias show Git\ show]]
        vim.cmd [[Alias re Git\ restore]]
        vim.cmd [[Alias lg GV]]
      end,
    }
    

    Fugitive is very nice for integrating git workflows in the editor, and its commands have very nice tab completion for branches and such.
