.gitconfig: Simple shortcuts for common operations

I appreciate the pull request, @wimleers, but there’s already an s shortcut for status -s, so I don’t think st is really needed; the same goes for go and co. For committing I mostly use ca so I doubt I’d be using ci.

For those reasons, I’m gonna say no to this one — but of course, please feel free to keep these in your own fork!

Thanks again.

I can follow your reasoning for most, but not for ci: don't you ever commit mere portions of changes? E.g. by using git add -p? It's in those cases that you don't want to do a commit -a, and that ci is useful :)

Sometimes, but not very often. I just type out commit when I want the default behavior. I don’t use it enough to make an alias for it, but if you do, that’s fine.
