An extremely minified alias for git commands with tab completion. Because who wants git commit -m "blah blah blah" to make every change?
npm install -g mingit && source ~/.mingit.sh
or if you like yarn
yarn global add mingit && source ~/.mingit.sh
** You must execute source ~/.mingit.sh or open a new terminal, then you can try out the Commands below. **
Tested on Mac OS X El Capitan. If this doesn't work for you, see Manual Install
Supporting the minimal number of highly-used commands
g a . // git add .
g b other-branch // git branch other-branch
g c "made some changes" // git commit -m "made some changes"
g co master // git checkout master
g d // git diff
g f // git fetch
g i // git init
g m hotfix // git merge hotfix
g pll // git pull
g psh // git push
g s // git status
This doesn't destroy command line parameters, so for example typing
g psh origin magic // pushes local to origin/magic
or any other number of parameters on different commands works as "git push origin magic" would. Also, since command line parameters are not destoryed, using g by itself instead of git followed by a command also works:
g stash // works just as well with any git subcommand
It also keeps tab completion. So when you want to switch to another branch, just
$ g co <TAB><TAB>
HEAD master second-branch ORIG_HEAD
as you normally would.
If on linux, append [scripts/bashrc] to ~/.bashrc to use shortened commands.
cat ./.bashrc >> ~/.bashrc
Append the contents of [scripts/bash_profile] to your ~/.bash_profile:
cat ./.bash_profile >> ~/.bash_profile
If on windows, append [scripts/win-bashrc] to ~/.bashrc (create it if it doesn't exist) in your home directory (find home by echo $HOME on your git bash setup...probably /c/users/$USER).
Now use the mingit commands instead of the git commands to save tons of time while using git.
$ npm uninstall -g mingit
or
$ yarn global remove mingit
