Counterpoint: 'git a' is a nice shorthand alias that you never have to think twice about. What do you shorten 'stage' to when 's' and 'st' are taken?

True. I use a few (oversmart) aliases for most frequently used git commands:

  alias gist='git status'
  alias stagit='git stage'
  alias gitcom='git commit'  # also toying with comgit

For the rest, I just use the full commands to avoid accidents.
