Pull

Sets the default pull method to use rebase instead of merge.

Rebase

The autoStash option performs automatic stashs when we do a rebase and have unstaged files in the working directoy. Once the rebase is finished, the stash is poped automatically.

The autosquash option allow us to organize automatically commits we will want to squash with previous commits. This is done by commiting doing git commit --fixup <old_hash_commit_to_squash_with>

Reuse Recorded Resolution

Once enabled, the rerere feature will record solved conflicts so if we encounter them again git already knows how to act.

How to use it

With this repository cloned in your home direrctory you only need to run stow gitconfig and it will automatically create a symlink in your home to the .gitconfig file.

With this, you can use all the aliases and enjoy the features.
