Brett's Git Commands

Just some simple git commands that made more sense as scripts than as aliases.

Installation

Clone this repo and copy or link the directory into your $PATH and call them like git ar or git finda ci. Make sure the scripts are executable.

More complex commands will display usage instruction with -h.

Some scripts require external tools:

All easily installed with Homebrew.

git ar - Add all new files to staging and remove deleted files
git comm [<summary>] - Pretty commit message input using gum
git finda <alias> - Find a git alias using pattern matching
git ig [<lang>] - Add contents of an ignore file from gitignore.io, uses fzf
git iglist - List all available ignore files
git logjson - Output a JSON-formatted git log
git releasenext [major|minor|*patch] - Creates a release using hub for the next semantic version (based on tags)
git semnext [major|minor|*patch] - Output the next semantic version number
git sign - Enable/disable GPG signing, assign key for repo or globally
git ver - Display the current semantic version (based on tags)
git whyig - Show ignored files and explain why/how they're ignored

useful-git-aliases.conf contains a collection of useful aliases.

Save useful-git-aliases.conf somewhere on your system. I like to put it in a folder I sync with Dropbox between my machines:

 ~/.local/share/git/useful-git-aliases.conf

Edit ~/.gitconfig to include this file:

 vim ~/.gitconfig

Include the path to the alias file:

[include]
path = ~/.local/share/git/useful-git-aliases.conf

The file includes some aliases from @durdn.

Once installed, git la will list all your aliases.
