# PowerShell-Git-Aliases
PowerShell implementation of zsh-style Git aliases for Windows users. Complete collection of Git shortcuts that streamline common Git operations in PowerShell.
## Overview
This repository contains a PowerShell script (`Install-GitAliases.ps1`) that configures your PowerShell profile with Git aliases similar to those available in zsh/oh-my-zsh. If you're familiar with Git aliases in zsh and want the same functionality in PowerShell, this script sets up everything for you with a single command.
## Features
- 150+ Git aliases ported from zsh
- Helper functions for branch detection
- Proper PowerShell syntax and parameter handling
- Easy installation process
- Familiar commands for users switching between zsh and PowerShell
## Prerequisites
- Windows with PowerShell 5.1+ or PowerShell Core 6.0+
- Git for Windows installed and available in PATH
## Installation
1. Clone or download this repository
2. Open PowerShell
3. Navigate to the repository folder
4. Run the script:
```powershell
.\Install-GitAliases.ps1
```
The script will:
- Check if your PowerShell profile exists and create it if needed
- Add the Git aliases and helper functions to your profile
- Offer to load the aliases in the current session
- Show example commands to get you started
## Common Aliases
Here are some of the most commonly used Git aliases included:
| Alias | Git Command |
|-------|------------|
| g | git |
| ga | git add |
| gaa | git add --all |
| gst | git status |
| gco | git checkout |
| gcb | git checkout -b |
| gcm | git checkout main |
| gcd | git checkout develop |
| gl | git pull |
| gp | git push |
| gpsup | git push --set-upstream origin $(git_current_branch) |
| gcmsg | git commit --message |
| gd | git diff |
| gf | git fetch |
| gfa | git fetch --all --tags --prune |
| glog | git log --oneline --decorate --graph |
| grh | git reset |
| grhh | git reset --hard |
For a complete list of all aliases with descriptions, see the [CHEATSHEET.md](CHEATSHEET.md).
## Customization
You can modify your PowerShell profile directly to add, remove, or customize any of the Git aliases:
```powershell
notepad $PROFILE
```
## Troubleshooting
### Execution Policy
If you encounter execution policy errors:
```powershell
Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned -Scope CurrentUser
```
### Reloading Profile
To reload your profile after making changes:
```powershell
. $PROFILE
```
