Git Tools

Git aliases and commands

Overview

Git Tools is a collection of Git aliases and convenience commands that I use in my development workflow. I've packed them up to make them easy to share and keep up-to-date across my various development environments. You're welcome to use them and I'd love contributions.

Installation

Clone the repository:

mkdir -p ~/Projects
cd ~/Projects
git clone git@github.com:jbmorley/git-tools.git

Update the submodules:
```
git submodule update --init
```
Include the Git Tools configuration file in your local Git configuration. For example, if you've cloned this repository to ~/Projects/git-tools, then you would add the following section to yout ~/.gitconfig:
```
[include]

    path = ~/Projects/git-tools/config
```

Updates

git gt-update
