This is a very short tutorial to show you how can setup shortcuts to your most used terminal commands within seconds.
First, open your terminal and navigate to your home directory /~.
In your home directory you have hidden files. You can unhide these files by typing:
$ ls -al
You should now see a file called `.zshrc` (if you are using zsh)` .
Open it up in vim or any other text editor.
$ vi .zshrc
If you opened up the file in vim, hit `i` for insert. Now you can create any alias you want. I have these setup:
alias gcm='git commit -m'\
alias ga='git add'\
alias gpo='git push origin'\
alias gc='git checkout'\
alias gcb='git checkout -b'\
alias gcd='git checkout develop'\Once you have completed the alias, hit the esc button and type :wq to save your settings file.
$ :wq
Quit your terminal and re-open it to start using your new terminal shortcuts.
And that is it.
Super easy, super fast, and will save you so much time in the long run.
