Useful Git Shell Aliases and Shortcuts

• Add the code in .bashrc into your .bashrc file, or use it to create one if you don't have one yet.
• Run source ~/.bashrc or restart your shell client to pick up the changes.
• Add the code from .gitconfig to your git config file -- you should be able to edit it by running git config -e --global in your shell.

For the curious, I wrote up further documentation about these aliases and the reasoning behind them in a blog post.
