git config --global alias.state "!git fetch origin && git remote show origin && :"
git config --global alias.sync "!git fetch origin && git remote prune origin && :"
git config --global alias.s "status"
git config --global alias.co "checkout"
git config --global alias.br "branch"
git config --global alias.ci "commit"
git config --global alias.cob "checkout -b"
git config --global alias.del "branch -D"
git config --global alias.save "!git add -A && git commit -m"
git config --global alias.undo "reset --soft HEAD^"
git config --global alias.res "!git reset --hard"
git config --global alias.done "!git push origin HEAD"
git config --global alias.ali "config --global --get-regexp alias"
git config --global alias.back "checkout -"
git config --global alias.st "status"
