people have been asking for this one a lot so: what are your favourite git aliases to set?

I don't really use git aliases, so I’m curious -- if you use aliases heavily, why do you use them? is it

1. to help remember very long / complicated commands, like `git log` with a million options
2. to save typing for very frequently used commands, like `gca = git commit --amend?
3. to give yourself kind of a "dictionary" of all the common git commands you use, so that you can remember what your workflow is by looking at all your aliases
4. something else?

also very interested in what git helper scripts people are using (or writing!) like git vee blog.plover.com/prog/git-q.htm

@b0rk I have a thing that lets me type :Blame in vim to run git blame on the file I'm looking at, put the result in a new buffer, and move my cursor to the line I was looking at. And a few utilities for making worktrees recursively with submodules that are also worktrees (which I know you're not supposed to do but I do it anyway).
