I also gave from SVN and I must admit, I did create co, st, ci aliases, but basically never used them, so removed them since. Git is not SVN, so why treat it as such.

Alternatively, you can put your alias somewhere on a wiki or personal web page and just refer user to look at your alias list, instead of having to explain to them every time why your git commands are non-standard. It might save you some time and effort - in the long run.

Or just learn the full git commands. ;-)
