I usually use long form commands and parameters. I use ZShell history + FZF to get at commands with minimal keystrokes.
Don't really have to remember anything. Some vague snippets will narrow it down really fast.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
I would guess a list this long is self defeating. You wouldn't remember the ones you don't use often but would have a better chance remembering the full command because the language of the command is more intuitive.
Memory is pretty weird with these - I find that my hands do most of the remembering, and my mind doesn't have to do much work. It must be a very individual thing - hope everyone is doing what works for them. And you're right that there's always a safe fallback to default commands. I will admit that seeing the list in its entirety when posting it, I was surprised at its length, but I estimate I use at least 50% of the…
I suppose that is true because I can't remember more than 3 of my shell git aliases but I'm the most basic git user you can get and I don't use them for work.
Using lazygit is probably the most efficient way to do git IMO. https://github.com/jesseduffield/lazygit
Great example of premature optimization. Save seconds per day typing "gc" instead of "git commit"
Your axe doesnt need to be extra sharp so you can cut one extra tree in a day, it needs to be extra sharp so it feels good to chop down trees.
If you're interested, Oh my zsh already has git aliases and much more for dev productivity. It also has a really large number of supported plugins. https://github.com/ohmyzsh/ohmyzsh?tab=readme-ov-file https://kapeli.com/cheat_sheets/Oh-My-Zsh_Git.docset/Content...
Batteries included can be nice.
When your batteries start to run their own webservers and phone home, someone mistook convenience for batteries.

oh-my-zsh also checks for updates. Batteries included can be nice. When your batteries start to run their own webservers and phone home, someone mistook convenience for batteries.
I'm pretty sure that omz is not running their own webserver (correct me if I'm wrong here). It is just doing a git pull to update. [1]

Same thing - I put them in my shell. Here is the list I use: alias ga="git add" alias gaw="git add -A && git diff --cached -w | git apply --cached -R" alias gb="git branch" alias gbl="git branch -l" alias gbD="git branch -D" alias gbu="git branch -u" alias gc="git commit" alias gca="git commit -a" alias gcaa="git commit -a --amend" alias gcam="git commit -a -m" alias gce="git commit -e" alias gcfu="git commit --fixup…

I have several git alias that I live by: ga = git add -A gc = git commit gcm = git commit -m gp = git push All of these are defined in my zshrc rather than doing it through git config.

...so that I can see if there was any revision to a commit after it was first committed, which files were changed and how much, and pass extra parameters if needed.
