Useful git aliases

Git porcelain has improved a lot, it still has a couple of rough spots. Here are a couple of git aliases that make my git workflow more pleasant:

  • Dealing with aliases

    1

    4
    5
    git config --global --add alias.add-alias \
    '!f() { git config --global --add alias.$1 "$2"; }; f'
    git add-alias aliases 'config --get-regexp ^alias'
    git config --global --add alias.rm-alias \
    '!f() { git config --global --unset alias.$1 ;  }; f'

  • Basic shortcuts

    git add-alias stat status
    git add-alias co checkout
    git add-alias ci commit
    git add-alias br branch
    git add-alias fa 'fetch --all'
    git add-alias pullff 'pull --ff-only'
    git add-alias pullrb 'pull --rebase'
    git add-alias rbi 'rebase -i'
    git add-alias bi bisect

  • Informational

    git add-alias root 'rev-parse --show-toplevel'
    git add-alias wb 'rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD'
    git add-alias desc 'describe --dirty --abbrev=40'
    git add-alias bll 'branch -vv --list'
    git add-alias where \
    '! echo "* HEAD:" $(git desc); git bll $(git wb)'

  • Branches

    1
    2
    3
    4
    git add-alias bup-om \
    'branch --set-upstream-to origin/master'
    git add-alias cob 'checkout -b'
    git add-alias cot 'checkout -b -t'

  • Fundamental settings

    1
    2
    3
    4
    5
    git config --global --add push.default simple
    git config --global --add core.ui true
    git config --global --add core.whitespace \
    trailing-space,space-before-tab,tab-in-indent
    git config --global --add merge.conflictstyle diff3

    Of course you must set user.email and user.name. If signing of commits is desired then set user.signingKey.
