Stop Typing the Same Commands

If you find yourself typing the same long commands over and over, you can create aliases - custom shortcuts for Git commands. For example, git log --oneline --graph --all is useful but tedious to type every time.

Set up a few common aliases:

git config --global alias.lg "log --oneline --graph --all"
git config --global alias.st "status"
git config --global alias.co "switch"
git config --global alias.cm "commit -m"
git config --global alias.br "branch"
