My favorite alias is `git out`, which just lists all unpushed commits. I use it all the time.

  [alias]
    out = "log @{u}.."

In my head I always hear it in the voice of The Terminator: https://youtu.be/8cdC1Y5oRFg?t=54

I should do another article on the best aliases, because this is a great one. I want it just because I want to do the Arnold voice every time.

Now I want to do: `git to-da-choppa`

That could be just

  git add . && git commit -a -m "git to da choppa" && git push --force

For when you need to Get to da choppa and don't have time to clean up =)

I use `qp`for `quick-push` with a function to provide a comment:

  # git alias
  qp = "!f() { git add . && git commit -m \"$1\" && git push; }; f"


  # usage
  git qp "whatever your comment is"

I almost never want to do `git add .`. I find `git add -u` to be better; it only stages known files.

That comes out of the box with Mercurial. (`hg out` or `hg outgoing`).
