My Handy Zsh Aliases for Faster Dev Work

Typing the same commands again and again gets old real fast.
Here are a few of my favorite Zsh aliases that actually make dev work quicker:

# Git Shortcuts alias ga="git add" alias gal="git add ." alias gc="git commit" alias gs="git status" alias lm="git switch main && git pull" alias gp="git pull && git push" alias ulc="git reset --soft HEAD~1" alias gst="git stash" alias pop="git stash pop" alias gstapp="git stash apply" # npm alias ns="npm run start" alias nd="npm run dev" alias nb="npm run build" alias ni="npm install" alias nu="npm uninstall" alias nr="npm run" # zsh utilities alias openzs="open ~/.zshrc" alias sourcezs="source ~/.zshrc"

Mindset:
Make your terminal work for you, not the other way around.
