Need git aliases? | Social Memory Complex

I've used git on many other people's computers and they never have the shortcuts that make git nimble for me to use. Until just now, I had know idea how those aliases were set. From a cursory reading of the docs, I gathered that you can edit your aliases directly with git config --global -e. For example:

        
        [merge]
            tool = opendiff
        [core]
            excludesfile = /Users/jeremyweiland/.gitignore
            editor = mate -w
        [alias]
            st = status
            ci = commit
            co = checkout
            br = branch
            lg = log --graph --pretty=format:'%Cred%h%Creset -%C(yellow)%d%Creset %s %Cgreen(%cr)%Creset' --abbrev-commit --date=relative
        [color]
            pager = true
           ui = auto
