From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

This is always my concern with creating git aliases, and find it's just as easy to use the reverse search in shell to find
git commit -a --amend --no-editrather than make up an alias which just works on one machine. Also, a lot of the time I'm sharing my screen or sending the output to someone, and don't want to have to explain whatgcanemeans.I do like the syntax highlighting plugin, that was new to me.
