Saved myself from typing git status, git commit, git push repeatedly
Useful Android Studio + PowerShell Git shortcuts on Windows
I got tired of repeatedly typing:
git status
git add .
git commit -m "message"
git push origin main
So I created shortcuts for Android Studio Terminal.
- Check which terminal Android Studio uses
Run:
$PSVersionTable
If PowerShell details appear → you're using PowerShell.
- Open PowerShell profile
Run:
notepad $PROFILE
If profile doesn't exist:
New-Item -Path $PROFILE -Type File -Force notepad $PROFILE
- Add these functions
function gs { git status }
function gad { git add $args }
function gitcm {
param([string]$message)
git commit -m "$message" }
function gpush { git push origin main }
- Reload profile
. $PROFILE
Usage:
gs for git status
gad . for git add .
gitcm "Fixed UI bug"
gpush for git push origin main
Note: Avoid names like gc, gp, gcm because PowerShell already uses many short aliases and they can conflict.
