I know we grow attached to the aliases we use every day, so I've made the alias system completely customizable.
You have two options when it comes to aliases:
### 1) Configure and use the provided SCM Breeze aliases
Just tweak the aliases in `~/.git.scmbrc`. You can also change or remove any keyboard shortcuts.
These aliases also come with tab completion, so you can type `gco <tab>` to tab complete your list of branches.
### 2) Use your own aliases
Make sure your git aliases are being defined before you load SCM Breeze.
Then, in the `git.scmbrc` config file, just set the `git_augment_current_aliases` option to `yes`.
Your existing git aliases will then be parsed and wrapped with a SCM Breeze function wrapper, so that you can
use the numeric shortcuts feature.
A few aliases will still be defined for the central SCM Breeze features, such as `gs` for the extended `git status`,
and `ga` for the `git add` function.
For example, if you already have an alias like `alias gco="git checkout"`,
then SCM Breeze will automatically redefine it to `alias gco="exec_git_expand_args git checkout"`.
This means you can type `gco 1` to checkout the first file in the output of SCM Breeze's `git status`.
Note: If you wrap your own aliases, SCM Breeze will **not** set up tab completion for your aliases if you haven't
set that up yourself.
