git-helper

A collection of bash scripts that help speed up CLI git operations. All scripts and installed in the /usr/bin folder

update-git

Running the update-git command in your terminal will push your current working directory to the server after adding new changes and prompting the user for a commit message. You can also just add the commit message after the command by encapsulating it in double quotes.

Example:

update-git "This is a commit message."

pull-repo

Running the pull-repo command in your terminal will pull a specific repo of a prefixed group using the flag -n followed by the suffix name of the repo. You can change the prefix with the -s flag. By default the prefix is set to ctos.

The script will then search locations for the repo in some predetermined locations. This command can be run from any folder in the home user directory.

Example:

pull-repo -n ctos-side-repo -s install

update-repo

Running the update-repo command will commit a specific repo of a prefixed group using the flag -n followed by the suffix name of the repo. The commit message is added using the -c flag followed by you commit message in double quotes. You can change the prefix with the -s flag. By default the prefix is set to ctos.

The script will then search locations for the repo in some predetermined locations. This command can be run from any folder in the home user directory.

Example:

update-repo -n side-repo -s ctos -c "My commit message"

clone-repo

Running the clone-repo command will clone a GitHub repo from a predefined author. The -s flag is used to switch to using HTTPS instead of the default SSH, this is useful if you are cloning something to use rather than something that you are developing. You should use the -a flag to tell the script the name of the author of the repo, by default this is set to Coopertronic.

The script will will search for the repo on GitHub and clone it to your current directory.

Example:

clone-repo -n git-helper -s -a Coopertronic

clone-aur

Running the clone-aur command will simply clone a PKGBUILD from the AUR that is stated after the command.

Example:

clone-aur scummvm-git
