This repository started its way as a fork of ddollar/git-utils. Some of the utilities here are from there, others are my own creation, some loosely based on ddollar's versions.
Simply clone this repository, and put it in your path. Make sure bash considers the git-* files executable.
To enable bash completion, copy or link the files from this repository's bash_completion.d to /etc/bash_completion.d. An install script, install-git-utils-bash-completion, is provided for convenience.
Note: All commands assume you are using a terminal and tools that supports ANSI color; if they are redirected, ANSI color is preserved. Some command line tools, such as less, support this with command line flags, but other tools, especially editors, may have a problem with that. If you are using these commands and redirecting output, I suggest using something like strip-ansi to remove these color codes.
| Command | Description |
|---|---|
git repos |
Lists all the git repos in subdirectories of the current directory (or specified in the command line), and their current branches |
git clone-github |
Simple alias for cloning a GitHub repo using ssh, accepts a username/repo rather than a full url |
git newbranch |
Creates a new branch, checks it out, and pushes the current state to the remote server, setting upstream tracking |
git branch-status |
Shows how far ahead and behind each branch is when compared to master |
git addremove |
Adds added files, removes deleted files |
git last |
Simple alias for git log; shows the last few commits (defaults to 1, accepts a number for different number of commits) |
git meta |
Simple alias for git show; shows metadata for a commit without the diff file |
git tree |
Shows a graph of the repository's commits, branches and merges |
git my-tree |
The same as git tree, except limited to commits by the current user (identified by email) |
git orphans |
Shows a graph, like git tree, but includes all orphaned commits, e.g. once that have already been rebased |
git local-tree |
Shows a graph, like git tree, but includes all local branches |
git origin-tree |
Shows a graph, like git tree, but includes all origin/* branches |
git repo-tree |
Like git origin-tree, but for a different remote. First argument must be a remote name |
git incoming |
Shows incoming changes (this doesn't contact the server, so it's recommended to use git fetch first) |
git outgoing |
Shows outgoing changes (which would be pushed to a remote server with git push) |
git rstatus |
Shows complete status as compared to the origin (or other specified remote branch) |
git compare-branches |
Compares the list of local branches with branches on a remote |
git sync |
Performs a pull, merge/rebase, then a push. Can stash unsaved changes and pop afterwords |
git srebase |
Performs an interactive rebase, stashing (and popping afterwards) if there are any local changes |
git gone |
List or delete local branches which have been deleting on the upstream remote |
git files-chaned |
Shows the list of files changed by a specific commit |
git order |
Outputs the given list of commits, ordered by their commit date (as hashes only). Useful before using cherry-pick. |
git parents |
Finds the parents of a given commit (or list of commits) and outputs their hashes |
git identify-package |
Finds the name of a package from package.json - useful for repositories merging multiple packages (e.g. with git subtree) |
