Git CLI aliases

gistfile1.md

Here are my indispensible git command-line tricks:

• gh pr checkout NNNN - Check out a numbered PR to your working tree
• gl3 - See the last 3 commits
• gco - - Check out the last branch you were on
• gco branch-name - Check out a local branch by full name
• gbm DateInput - Shows git branches matching a pattern
• gco $(gbm DateInput) - Check out the DateInput branch
• glb - "Git last branches" - print a list of the most recent branches you've checked out
• gro - "Git reset origin" - Does a reset to the remote branch, not merging with local edits
• gwip - Create a commit instantly, bypassing commit hooks. Append message optionally.
• gcam - Git commit all changes, with message.
• gundo - Undo the last commit, keeping working tree the same.
• gadd - Merge the current changes with the previous commit.
• gra - Git rebase: abort
• grc - Git rebase: continue
• grebase main - Rebase this branch on top of latest main

Requirements:

• gh command line tool (brew install gh)
