Custom Git Scripts

A collection of custom git commands to speed up my git workflow. This add some extra useful git commands.

Installation

First download the repo

git clone https://github.com/fespinoza/custom-git-scripts

Then make sure you add the directory to your $PATH in the terminal, for example for zsh, adding to the .zshrc

export PATH="<YOUR_CLONED_DIRECTORY>/bin:$PATH"

Usage

The commands added are:

• git alias: adds a new global alias

  Example: git alias cdbrm 'clean-development-branches master'

• git changelog-from-parent: returns a formatted list of commits of changes not present in the parent branch

• git clean-development-branches: given a base branch, it will remove all the branches that were merged to the base branch. Useful to clean all the branches of merged pull requests.

  Example: git clean-development-branches master

• git not-released: given a base-ref and a current-ref returns a formatted list of pull request merged into current-ref that are not present in base-ref. Useful to list all the pull request merged since a tag, etc.

  Example: git not-released builds/beta/81 master

• git open-in-github: opens the origin repository in the browser for the public github or the enterprise version.

Aliases

The new git commands are supposed to be descriptive, now for convenience you can add some aliases, (with the git alias command for example). This are some that i recommend:

git cdbrm # clean development branches from master
git cl    # change list from parent branch
git clp	  # change list from parent branch and copy it to clipboard
git nr	  # not released changes

A full list of my personal aliases can be found in my dotfiles
