git-aliases

A collection of useful aliases for git with completion.

Installation

At the moment support for bash and zsh is available. Defined aliases can likely be ported to other shells easily.

bash

To use the aliases in bash you need to have the git-completion.bash script loaded in order to provide completion.

Copy the git-aliases.bash file to a location (e.g. your home directory). Then add the following lines to your .bashrc:

# Load git completion
source ~/.git-completion.bash

# Load git aliases
source ~/git-aliases.bash

After a restart of your shell or after issuing source ~/.bashrc the aliases become available.

zsh

To use the aliases in zsh copy the git-aliases.zsh file to a location (e.g. your home directory). Then add the following lines to your .zshrc:

# Load git aliases
source ~/git-aliases.zsh

No loading of completion scripts is neccessary since zsh provides this functionality.

After a restart of your shell or after issuing source ~/.zshrc the aliases become vailable.

Usage

After installation you can use the defined aliases like any other command.

Base aliases

The following basic aliases are defined:

Alias	Command
g	git
gcl	git clone
gpl	git pull
gpu	git push
gf	git fetch
ga	git add
gc	git commit
gst	git stash
grst	git reset
gb	git branch
gco	git checkout
gcp	git cherry-pick
gm	git merge
grb	git rebase
gt	git tag
gl	git log
gr	git remote
gbs	git bisect

Advanced aliases

In addition to the base aliases additional aliases are defined to provide common command usages. These are always prefixed with the base alias.

Some common examples:

Alias	Command
gss	git status --short
gba	git branch --all
gplum	git pull upstream master
grbc	git rebase --continue
gcob	git checkout -b

For a complete list see the git-aliases.* file.
