Since `git status` is my most common command I've got it aliased to just `s`. Every time I use another machine it throws me off when the command doesn't work :)
'y' (yank) = git pull
's' (shove) = git push
'g' (give) = git commit -am x
'o' (open) = git checkout x
'p' (pick up) = git branch x
'l' (look at) = git status
^rstat -> git status
^rcomm -> git commit
^rkout -> git checkout -d foo
^redit -> git commit --amend --no-edit
^rdeco -> git commit --oneline --decorate
I know it's popular, but I think I'd find it confusing for completely separate commands to relate like that. It's like cups; I was really surprised to find that the shell command `cancel` was about print jobs. I'd thought it be something more generic. I like it that git keeps all these functions related as subcommands. Makes things more readable. `git status` is not general system status, it's git's status.
As to infinite scrolling and window management, I prefer to set the scrollback buffer length on my terminal (urxvt) to a ridiculously large number, and use a real window manager (i3 for me). It's kind of weird how so many applications have their own specific window manager inside them, like tmux (windows and tabs) or text editors (vim and emacs windows and tabs) or browsers (firefox and chromium tabs) or file managers (dolphin and pcmanfm tabs) or spreadsheets (sheets). i3 allows me to tile, tab, or stack any windows I want in any arrangement with a single set of keybindings (as opposed to the differing keybindings of each application).
Anyway, another thing that's cool about tmux is copy mode. It's awesome to execute a command, hit a key to be able to move the cursor throughout the whole buffer, and copy some piece of the output any command you've executed there, to then paste in a new command. I found that urxvt has an extension that allows the same thing, and it uses the system clipboard! So, I can not only use what I copy for a new command, I can use it elsewhere like copying a url and pasting it on a web browser using only the keyboard. It's also useful to do searches in the output of commands I've executed. So, if run a command that produces a lot of output and I want to know if it outputted something in particular, but I don't want to rerun it to pipe to less or grep or I know that it's not going to result in the same output, I can just hit a key, type what I want to search and see if it finds it.
