These are some bash aliases and functions that make the average git user's life easier. The commands have been tested under msysgit but they should work on other platforms too.

Clone the repository into your home directory:

cd ~
git clone git:https://github.com/michel-kraemer/gitaliases.git

Include gitaliases.sh in your .bashrc:

echo source ~/gitaliases/gitaliases.sh >> ~/.bashrc

The following aliases are provided:

add

Verbose add (executes git add -v and then git status). All parameters will be forwarded to git add.

Example:

add -p foobar.txt

branch

Alias for git branch

checkout

Alias for git checkout

cherry-pick

Alias for git cherry-pick

commit

fetch

g

gadd

Pipes the output of git ls-files to grep to add only those files that match a given pattern. All parameters (including the pattern) will be forwarded to grep. Like add this command is verbose and calls git status at the end.

Example:

greset
