Aliases#

Neither oh-my-zsh's git plugin nor PowerShell's git-aliases module — the former defines 197 aliases at once where only these few get used. Both sides keep identical semantics so the muscle memory carries across platforms.

zsh#

sh
alias g="git"alias gaa="git add --all"alias gcmsg="git commit --message"alias gp="git push"alias gl="git pull"alias gcl="git clone --recurse-submodules"

PowerShell#

These have to be functions rather than Set-Alias, since an alias cannot carry fixed arguments.

powershell
# gp / gl are built-in read-only aliases (Get-ItemProperty / Get-Location).# Command resolution is alias > function, so without removing them the functions below# would never be reachedforeach ($a in "gp", "gl") { Remove-Item "Alias:$a" -Force -ErrorAction Ignore }
function g { git @args }function gaa { git add --all @args }function gcmsg { git commit --message @args }function gp { git push @args }function gl { git pull @args }function gcl { git clone --recurse-submodules @args }

Import-Module git-aliases -DisableNameChecking is exactly what the module was doing about this; defining the functions by hand means taking that step over yourself.

Both sides chain the same way:

sh
g init && gaa && gcmsg "feat: initial"
