How to List All Aliases Set in Git?

In Git, aliases help simplify commands, making complex command sequences easier to remember and execute. To list all aliases set in Git, you can use Git's configuration system. The specific command is:

bash
git config --get-regexp alias

This command retrieves the Git configuration file (typically .gitconfig or in the repository's .git/config file), searches for all configuration items starting with "alias", and displays them. Each alias is listed in the format alias.<name> <command>, where <name> is the alias name and <command> is the corresponding Git command.

For example, if you previously configured the following aliases:

• Configure git cm to git commit -m
• Configure git st to git status
• Configure git lg to git log --graph --oneline

After executing git config --get-regexp alias, the output will resemble:

shell
alias.cm commit -m
alias.st status
alias.lg log --graph --oneline

This allows you to quickly view all configured aliases and their corresponding Git commands.
