What Hacker News says?
I used to do that, but I found it wasn’t actually saving me any cognitive load. My newer philosophy toward git aliases is the one described here: http://gggritso.com/human-git-aliases . After reading this I totally overhauled my .gitconfig and replaced it with the one described here and I’m a lot happier.

HN discussionEven once you learn git's fundamentals, the UI still sucks though. I like to think I have a pretty good grasp on the git model, but I still consider this article an absolute must for git use: http://gggritso.com/human-git-aliases Whenever I use a computer and I don't have "git unstage", "git discard", "git publish", etc. it feels like I've lost my opposable thumbs
