There is two easy way to set the alias.

1. Using Bash
2. Updating .gitconfig file

Using Bash

Open bash terminal and type git command. For instance:

$ git config --global alias.a add
$ git config --global alias.aa 'add .'
$ git config --global alias.cm 'commit -m'
$ git config --global alias.s status

It will eventually add those aliases on .gitconfig file.

Updating .gitconfig file

Open .gitconfig file located at 'C:\Users\username\.gitconfig' in Windows environment. Then add following lines:

[alias]  
a = add  
aa = add . 
cm = commit -m 
gau = add --update 
au = add --update
b = branch
