How It Works
Git allows you to define aliases for arbitrary commands. The aliases should be stored in
the user's configuration file. The file should be named
.gitconfig
and stored in
your home directory. If you have already executed any commands to configure git with
--global
option, for example,
git config --global user.name
, then the
.gitconfig
file already exists in your home directory. Otherwise, you will have to
create it.
The first of the aliases shown in
Listing 2-14
can be created with:
$ git config --global alias.l "log --oneline
--abbrev-commit --abbrev=4 -25"
The command
git config -global alias.abc "def"
just creates an
entry
abc = def
in the
[alias]
section of your personal
.gitconfing
file.
If you want to find the location of your home directory type:
