What are Git Aliases?
Git aliases provide a way to shorten popular git commands. For example, you can use the “git co” command in place of “git commit“. In other words, it maps a custom command to a standard GitHub command. Like in the example above, the command “git co” was mapped to “git commit”. The user can use both commands, i.e. the original command and the alias to accomplish the same task.
