branchc - show the current branch

Usage:

git branchc

Intended use:

Shorten the command to show the current branch.

Script:

git config --global alias.branchc 'branch --show-current'

clonegh - clone directly from GitHub

git clonegh <username>/<repo>

Clone a repository directly from GitHub, without having to copy the URL and then clone it

Script:

## Usage:
## Intended use:
git config --global alias.clonegh '!f() { git clone https://github.com/$1.git; }; f'

github - go to the repository’s home page (GitHub)

Usage:

git github

Output: Opens the repository’s home page in the default browser

Intended use:

Quickly open the repository’s home page in the default browser NOTE: Requires Python to be installed

graph - Show a pretty git log with graph

Usage:

git graph

Output:

* 1aa688f (HEAD -> main, origin/main, origin/add_branchr, origin/HEAD, add_branchr) added branchr w comment
* 13e46a5 (origin/add_graph, add_graph) added graph.sh
* 0d2deab added logp
* 8349514 added logl - log with one line
* cb11940 added description
* 939c655 appended description
* 5f4efe9 Create branchc.sh
* 5279dd5 Create pmerge.sh
* 8f83cd7 Create README.md

Intended use:

Shorten the command to show the git log with graph

Script:

git config --global alias.graph 'log --oneline --graph --decorate'

logl - log with one line

Usage:

git logl

Output:

cb11940 (HEAD -> main) added description
939c655 appended description
5f4efe9 (origin/main, origin/HEAD) Create branchc.sh
5279dd5 Create pmerge.sh
8f83cd7 Create README.md

Intended use:

Shorten the command to show the git log with one line per commit.

Script:

git config --global alias.logl 'log --oneline'

logp - pretty log

Usage:

git logp

Output:

8349514 - (HEAD -> main, origin/main, origin/HEAD) added logl - log with one line (2 minutes ago) [Palash Tyagi]
cb11940 - added description (6 minutes ago) [Palash Tyagi]
939c655 - appended description (6 minutes ago) [Palash Tyagi]
5f4efe9 - Create branchc.sh (18 hours ago) [Palash Tyagi]
5279dd5 - Create pmerge.sh (18 hours ago) [Palash Tyagi]
8f83cd7 - Create README.md (18 hours ago) [Palash Tyagi]

Intended use:

Shorten the command to show the git log with a pretty format.

Script:

git config --global alias.logp !git log --pretty=format:\"%C(magenta)%h%Creset -%C(red)%d%Creset %s %C(dim green)(%cr) [%an]\" --abbrev-commit -30

pmerge - pull and merge a branch

Usage:

git checkout featureX
git pmerge main

Intended use

When merging branch main into featureX, one often has to pull from main to ensure merging into the correct head. Assume you’re on branch featureX

git pmerge main

executes:

BRANCH=$(git branch --show-current) # BRANCH is featureX
git checkout main
git pull
git checkout BRANCH
git merge main

Script:

git config --global alias.pmerge '!f() { BRANCH=$(git branch --show-current); git checkout "$1" && git pull && git checkout "$BRANCH" && git merge "$1"; }; f'

prunegone

Usage:

git prunegone

Intended use

Use this alias to delete all branches that are gone on the remote. It does not delete branches that are not gone on the remote, or are not on the remote at all.

Running this alias executes:

git fetch --prune
git branch -vv | awk "/: gone]/{print \$1}" | xargs -r git branch -d

Script:

git config --global alias.prunegone '!git fetch --prune && git branch -vv | awk "/: gone]/{print \$1}" | xargs -r git branch -d'
