Mistakes are the most common cause of vulnerabilities in open source software, but they are not the only cause. Bad actors also attempt to introduce malicious software, known as malware, into open source. Details about malware can be hard to keep track of because malware is typically taken down and is not eligible for the usual disclosure process where vulnerabilities are assigned a CVE and placed in the National Vulnerability Database (NVD).
I’ve seen quite a few posts about setting up .gitconfig files with aliases like co = checkout. I see the value in saving some keystrokes (and misspellings), but I personally don’t use those aliases. Command length is rarely the pain point I experience with Git. I do, however, use a handful of aliases that I find very helpful. I like to classify them as semantic aliases.
