First in a series of git tutorials basic commands on cygwin.

Starting in the fourth part I have a better microphone, which on the down side it's still my voice on the voice overs but it sounds a bit better.

Add an alias section

[alias]

st = status

ci = commit

co = checkout

br = branch

I think I mention this in another tutorial. I feel bad I really have to redo these. Anyway I think what your asking about are the short cuts or git st rather than git status. To make shortcuts/aliasis like that you just add them to your .gitconfig file located in your home directory(/home/username for linux or c:/users/username for windows) I'll post an example an example.

Back when I made this video I used Cygwin which was slower but more "stable". Both have some known issues. Right now at my new job I'm using git bash(mysysgit). Ideally you would use bash on linux or mac, I've actually been meaning to redo these videos for a while with what I know now.
