How can I make git-pull verbose by default?

Question

Looking through the git-config variables and git-pull documentation I don't see a way to make git-pull pull verbose by default. Anybody know of a way?

Answer 1

There's not a config parameter for everything! But you can mostly take care of it for yourself with an alias:

[alias]
    pv = pull -v

So you can use git pv <args>, save typing two characters, and get the verbosity you want.

Answer 2

In your git global config file, you can create "aliases".

It is usefull to create new git commands (ignore, for example), or to define a default comportement to an existing command (in your case).
