Add alias for git add --verbose

Add alias gav='git add -v'
fixes #6793

Cool! Please rebase your branch so it can be merged. And cross your fingers this happens soon! 🤞

Would you mind adding alias gav='git add -v' (verbose) to this PR? That would then cover issue #6793.

[bittner]

Interestingly, gaa = 'git add --all' is already included in the aliases.

This was added by PR #3544.

[tushart91]

Updated based on your comment.
All my requirements are already in upstream so just adding fix for your requirement.

[bittner]

Nice, thank you!

I see the git diff --staged is implemented as gdc = git diff --cached. Would it be too much to ask to add also a gds = git diff --staged alias (which does the same)? What do you think?

[bittner]

@tushart91 Can you add gds = git diff --staged as an official alias to gdc?

git diff supports both options, according to the git-diff man page ("--staged is a synonym of --cached."), hence it should be acceptable to also support both short aliases.

@bittner use gdc or add the gds alias in your zshrc. Having an alias means using up another name in the namespace; having two is just wasteful.

[bittner]

@mcornella 👍

Interesting. I thought to have seen --staged used more widely with git diff (that's why I cared). But the manpage seems to favor --cached anyway. Fine with me.

[bittner]

BTW, gdc seems to have been removed (by error?) for some reason. It's not in the aliases file anymore. Is there a reason for that, @mcornella?

EDIT: This comes from f1a43da via #3977 (conflict with GNU D compiler).

Interestingly, in theory, there is also a conflict of gs with Ghostscript, but nobody complains. 🙄

[mcornella]

Oh right, it's now gdca. Hmm... maybe it makes sense to have gds after all, provided there are no conflicts (I haven't found any). Care to submit a PR?

[bittner]

Voilà!
