Git'ing Better All The Time

Making Git Awesome In Your CLI

Ye Olde School - Improve it with Bash

1. Git info in your prompt

   brew install vcprompt

   vcprompt original link

   My own flavor:

   # in ~/.profile
   
   vcprompt_timeout ()
   {
           A=$(vcprompt -t 100 -f "[%n:%b%u%m]") && echo $A || vcprompt -f "[%n:%b_]"
   }
   	
   # get vcprompt into prompt
   vcprompt &>/dev/null  && \
   export PS1='\! \u \w $(vcprompt_timeout)\$

2. Tab-completions, because we are lazy

   via bob the cow's Install Bash git completion

   brew install bash-completion
   	
   # in ~/.profile
   if [ -f $(brew --prefix)/etc/bash_completion ]; then
   	. $(brew --prefix)/etc/bash_completion
   fi
   

3. Issues, let's solve that.

   brew install ghi

   ghi create -m "some new issue"
   

4. Better git client

   brew install hub

   # ~/.profile:  
   hub pull-request -i 272  # pr and convert issue to pull!
   

5. Useful (?) aliases in ~/.gitconfig

   [alias]
   ci = commit
   br = branch
   co = checkout
   st = status
   di = diff
   re = rebase
   re1 = rebase -i HEAD~2
   rei = rebase -i HEAD~10
   lst = ls-tree
   lsf = ls-files
   cat = cat-file
   dic = diff --cached
   din = diff --name-only
   dins = diff --name-status
   S = stash
   SA = stash apply
   log1 = log --remotes --branches --oneline --decorate #--source
   glog = log --graph
   fixup = !git commit --fixup HEAD && git rebase --interactive --autosquash HEAD~2
