Useful essential git config and shortcuts!

About this project

Need some useful shortcuts for git out of the box, but you're tired of reading through big projects with dark-magic mumbo-jumbo? You're in the right place! Only purpose of this script is to add few essential shortcuts to git, that will not overwhelm you and will speed up your work.

Included shortcuts

1. s is shortcut for status -sb. Calling git s will give you easy to read, clean info about status of your working tree and index. First column shows you info about file state in index, and second column shows info about file status in working tree.
2. b means branch -avv. Calling git b will output you list of your local and remote branches, along with basic info (last commit, last commit message).
3. l stands for log --oneline --decorate. git l gives you log of commits. One line per commit. Nasty and easy to read.
4. g is shortcut for log --oneline --decorate --graph. It will give you the same output plus ascii graph of branches on the left.
5. co is now your checkout. Want to checkout prod branch? Just hit git co prod. Want to create new test branch? git co -b test.

Also included - git output coloring.
