The Ultimate Git Alias Setup

The Ultimate Git Alias Setup

If you use git on the command-line, you'll eventually find yourself wanting aliases for your most commonly-used commands. It's incredibly useful to be able to explore your repos with only a few keystrokes that eventually get hardcoded into muscle memory.

Some people don't add aliases because they don't want to have to adjust to not having them on a remote server. Personally, I find that having aliases doesn't mean I that forget the underlying commands, and aliases provide such a massive improvement to my workflow that it would be crazy not to have them.

The simplest way to add an alias for a specific git command is to use a standard bash alias.

# .bashrc
#!/bin/bash
# subtree merge with branches
rm -rf commcare-hq core-hq
git clone git://github.com/dimagi/commcare-hq.git
git clone git://github.com/dimagi/core-hq.git
cd core-hq
#!/bin/bash
# git subtree merge one repo into another, copying all branches in the source
# repo to the destination repo, with the source repo's name added as a prefix
# to the branch name in the destination repo
# with handling of weird edge cases in subtree merge
# See http://git-scm.com/book/ch6-7.html for an overview of git subtree merge

# This script installs dependencies for CommCare HQ on Ubuntu 12.04 (Java,
# Jython, couchdb, couchdb-lucene, less, uglifyjs, and various python packages)

A Propel behavior that allows runtime specification of database name.
<?php
/**
* If you use different databases for development and production, it can be tedious to maintain
* propel configuration and database schema files in version control, because you need to change the
* database name and re-run propel-gen after pulling so the propel base objects refer to the correct
* database.
*
* This behavior allows you to specify a constant that will be defined when propel is loaded and
* which will be used as the database name in the generated Peer and Query classes instead of a
