# How to use git aliases  to 10X your workflow

## Did you think git config was only for setting your name and email?
You can also use to create shortcut commands, or "aliases" , and improve your git workflow!

Here's the command you'd run in your shell:

```
git config --global alias.<alias> <cmd>
``` 
For example, I have git init --bare" aliased to "git naked"

Some aliases I've seen around that make me feel enlightened:
```
cm = commit -m
undo = reset HEAD~1
st = status
unstage = reset --soft HEAD^
```
So that's it folks! Have you any great aliases to share? I'm always looking for more ways to optimize my workflow, so share them here!
