How to set aliases in git

Aliases are lovely since you don’t have to write so many characters It’s easy to set up your own. Just go to your home catalog and edit your .gitconfig file

nano ~/.gitconfig

Here’s mine:

[alias]
        co = checkout
        lg = log --graph --pretty=format:'%Cred%h%Creset -%C(yellow)%d%Creset %s %Cgreen(%cr) %Cblue<%an$
        cp = cherry-pick
        c = commit -am
        dc = diff --cached
        last = log -1 --stat
