Terminal Aliases for Flutter & Git

Some maybe more so than others, but typically as developers we use our terminals frequently to complete tasks. Sometimes these tasks have the exact same set of steps, other times the order might of steps might change.

If the commands and their order don’t change, writing a script can save you a lot of time. If the commands used are mostly the same but the order could be different based on the situation, then you could make use of aliases.

Shortening git status to gst might not seem like much of a win, but it shortens your time-to-completion, reduces the energy you need to put in, and the decrease in characters minimises the surface area for mis-typing. The real power though comes from stacking the gains from aliasing your most used commands.

Feel free to check out my personal config repository to see my up-to-date list of aliases and other such scripts.
