In Git, aliases help simplify commands, making complex command sequences easier to remember and execute. To list all aliases set in Git, you can use Git's configuration system. The specific command is:
bashgit config --get-regexp alias
This command retrieves the Git configuration file (typically .gitconfig or in the repository's .git/config file), searches for all configuration items starting with "alias", and displays them. Each alias is listed in the format alias.<name> <command>, where <name> is the alias name and <command> is the corresponding Git command.
For example, if you previously configured the following aliases:
- Configure
git cmtogit commit -m - Configure
git sttogit status - Configure
git lgtogit log --graph --oneline
After executing git config --get-regexp alias, the output will resemble:
shellalias.cm commit -m alias.st status alias.lg log --graph --oneline
This allows you to quickly view all configured aliases and their corresponding Git commands.
