Git allows us to define aliases, which are basically our own commands we can use. They may be just a calls for other commands with parameters, or even shell scripts. Possibilities are unlimited.

Do you ever google for this Git command you forgot every time? Often execute several commands one by one, every time in the same combination for a final effect? Or saw a really nice Git command on the internet, but with way too more flags to use it in a real-life? Git aliases are the solution.

Here I will show Git aliases that I use in everyday work. With explanation.

How many times did you try to make git push for a newly created branch to the remote repository, only to get a strange “no upstream branch” error? Here I will show how to change Git configuration with a single command to get rid of it for good.

Git is a standard version control tool. You should definitely use it even for small personal projects. And when it comes to any teamwork, it’s mandatory.

Unfortunately, with default Git configuration we will not always see our work history true. Here we will investigate what is Git fast-forward merge mode behavior, how does it affect repository history, and why one should think about disabling it.
