Sync with remotes and create new git branch

Git Branch.md

Setup

• Put gitbr in /usr/local/bin.
• If necessary, replace master and origin with the main branch and remote of the repository.
• Make it executable (chmod +x /usr/local/bin/gitbr).

Usage

• Run gitbr with no arguments to have the branch name generated for you (e.g. 04-13-001274741-2015).
• Run gitbr <branch_name_here> to use a specific branch name.

gitbr

#!/bin/bash

git stash

branch=$(git branch | grep "dev" | tr -d '[[:space:]]')
if [ -z "$branch" ]; then
	# no branch that has dev in the name
	branch="master"
fi

remote=$(git remote | sed "/origin/d" | head -n 1)
if [ -z "$remote" ]; then
	# no remote repo other than origin
	remote="origin"
fi

git checkout "$branch"
git pull "$remote" "$branch"
git push origin "$branch"

now=$(date +"%m-%d-%N-%Y")
title=${1:-"$now"}
git checkout -b "$title"
