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.
Dont the many git TUI clients (tig, lazygit, ...) work like that with keybindings?
My favorite alias is `git out`, which just lists all unpushed commits. I use it all the time. [alias] out = "log @{u}.." In my head I always hear it in the voice of The Terminator: https://youtu.be/8cdC1Y5oRFg?t=54

I should do another article on the best aliases, because this is a great one. I want it just because I want to do the Arnold voice every time. Now I want to do: `git to-da-choppa`
That could be just git add . && git commit -a -m "git to da choppa" && git push --force For when you need to Get to da choppa and don't have time to clean up =)
# git alias
qp = "!f() { git add . && git commit -m \"$1\" && git push; }; f"
# usage
git qp "whatever your comment is" [user]
name = xyz
email = xyz@domain.com
signingkey = ~/.ssh/id_algorithm.pub
[commit]
gpgsign = true
[tag]
gpgsign = true
[gpg]
format = ssh
# restrict allowed signers
# echo "$(git config --get user.email) namespaces=\"git\" $(cat ~/.ssh/id_*.pub)" >> ~/.git_allowed_signers
[gpg "ssh"]
allowedSignersFile = ~/git_allowed_signers

It's very common for shared project-specific setting files to be stored in ".vscode" that are used by all developers on the project, including launch/task configurations. VSCode settings are hierarchical and composable (non-scalar keys are merged).
I am aware of that. Yet I don't see other cohorts doing that with their editor/IDE of choice. It seems to be mostly the "I don't want to configure my tools" subset, who does that. What if I switch my tool of choice 2-3 times? Do I get to commit all my project management IDE/editor specific files too? How much stuff do we want to accumulate in the git repo?
Yes, if those files apply to all team members using the same tool absolutely check them in. What's the problem? It reads to me like maybe you don't know what these files are actually used for and why a team benefits from sharing them.
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] detachedH…
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 use `qp`for `quick-push` with a function to provide a comment: # git alias qp = "!f() { git add . && git commit -m \"$1\" && git push; }; f" # usage git qp "whatever your comment is"

Isn't copying without the formatting just a ` | pbcopy` away?
I have Gemini set to decipher HN comments that I don't immediately understand. This is a macos only command `pbcopy`? Aside: Gemini mentioned it didn't want me to ask it questions about bikeshedding what shade of blue on a website header so I think it's got our number.

Yes pbcopy is a mac thing. On Linux, there are of course many different commands in different environments/distros. xsel, xclip, wl-clipboard, wlclip to name a few. On windows, powershell has Get-Clipboard and Set-Clipboard, and cmd.exe has `wsl` to fix the issue of having used cmd.exe to begin with.
git push --force-with-lease
Sadly you can't make it the default, so I resort to:
[alias]
force-push = push --force-with-lease
