`git commit -m`
vs
`gcm`
`git add --patch`
vs
`gap`
`git push staging qa:master`
vs
`gpqa`

Kind of like teaching a 3yo what "launch minecraft" means instead of saying "double click on the dirt, click beside the triangle, wait, wait, keep waiting, ... now click the top button, click the triangle. Wait. Wait. Okay, now you can play" -
