I have following alias now: main = !git symbolic-ref refs/remotes/origin/HEAD | cut -d'/' -f4

git main returns main or master or any other default branch name for the origin/HEAD.

Then I use it in my aliases like this:

  com = "!f(){ git checkout $(git main) $@;}; f"

Which for example is an alias for checking out the default branch.

I have attempted to create a repository using curl and the RESTful Github API, The libcurl command works in the bash shell but not as an alias could somebody help me with this? Sorry in advance for necro'ing an old post but it is the most relevant to the work i am doing :)

create = !curl -H 'Authorization: token <My_Access_Token>' -d '{ "name": "<Repo_Name>", "private": false }' https://api.github.com/user/repos

Before anyone asks, Yes i have interchanged <My_Access_Token> with my actual developer token, same with <Repo_Name>

Look who I've found :O

Thank you for share this.

Use Oh My Zsh

Another one, with arguments.

[alias]
# Add all files in staging + commit with message + push to remote
    acp = "!f() { git add -A ; git commit -m '$1'; git push; }; f"	

Example:

git acp "Fixing the bug"
