+As such, they are mostly similar to those found in the Oh My Zsh [git plugin](https://github.com/ohmyzsh/ohmyzsh/tree/master/plugins/git).
 Examples of some common aliases are `alias ga=git add`, `alias gst=git status`, `alias gp=git push`, `alias gl=git pull`.

+And `gll` quickly pulls up the contents of the last commit. (`ll` since `gl` already pulls from the remote)
+
 ## Gitignore generation script
 
 Adds a `gitignore` script which pulls relevant .gitignore lines from [gitignore.io](https://www.gitignore.io) and sends them to standard out, or creates a .gitignore file in the current directory.
