In this article, I’ll share my Git aliases—personal modifications that I’ve found especially useful. I hope it inspires you to play around with customizing your development environment to suit your needs. Feel free to copy them, improve them, or outright ignore them. It’s up to you.

There is no definitive way to get started customizing your development environment. It’s your environment, your tools. I can do little more than provide some examples and say, “Here, you try!” It’s a process of iterative refinement and exploration….

Git has many features, but it’s likely that you only use a small subset on a daily basis. While git tends to handle things intelligently most of the time, there are situations when doing the most obvious thing doesn’t give git enough information to make informed choices.

In this post, we’ll examine one such scenario – merging files. Through trial and error, I’ll show you the normal approach people take, some of the issues that occur with that approach, and a completely different approach that preserves some data lost in the first approach.
