A typo lead me down a little rabbit hole today.
The typo was git pul instead of git pull
~ git pul
git: 'pul' is not a git command. See 'git --help'.
The most similar commands are
pull
spullgit spull? That sounds funny. What does that do? Google results for it are disappointing. (Ripe SEO for this blog post).
~ git spull --help
'spull' is aliased to 'svn rebase'Hmm… How do I list all my aliases?
~ git alias --help
'alias' is aliased to '!git config --list | grep 'alias\.' | sed 's/alias\.\([^=]*\)=\(.*\)/\1\ => \2/' | sort'Hmm…
~ git alias
a => !git add . && git status
aa => !git add . && git add -u . && git status
ac => !git add . && git commit
acm => !git add . && git commit -m
alias => !git config --list | grep 'alias\.' | sed 's/alias\.\([^=]*\)=\(.*\)/\1\ => \2/' | sort
au => !git add -u . && git status
c => commit
ca => commit --amend
cm => commit -m
d => diff
l => log --graph --all --pretty=format:'%C(yellow)%h%C(cyan)%d%Creset %s %C(white)- %an, %ar%Creset'
lg => log --color --graph --pretty=format:'%C(bold white)%h%Creset -%C(bold green)%d%Creset %s %C(bold green)(%cr)%Creset %C(bold blue)<%an>%Creset' --abbrev-commit --date=relative
ll => log --stat --abbrev-commit
llg => log --color --graph --pretty=format:'%C(bold white)%H %d%Creset%n%s%n%+b%C(bold blue)%an <%ae>%Creset %C(bold green)%cr (%ci)' --abbrev-commit
master => checkout master
s => status
spull => svn rebase
spush => svn dcommitSo if you like to create short little aliases, think about using some of these built in ones instead so they’ll be pre-configured for you everywhere.
I like to use a gui for viewing history, but git l, git ll, git lg and git llg are pretty nice.
I also tried
~ git spull

So that’s just an interesting exploration into some functionality built into git that you might not know existed.
