Added some alias stuff to display git branch description everytime I do git status (or gs as it's aliased for me). That helps me keep on track with branches that are named like issue-[nro] or fix-[nro].

git_stuff.sh

function parse_git_branch_name {                                                
  git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD                                             
}                                                                               

function parse_git_description {                                                
  git config branch.$(parse_git_branch_name).description                      
}

alias gs='echo $(parse_git_branch_name): $(parse_git_description) && git status'

Hi! This is very cool. I only just recently using git for more than just linear commits. How would I set up my git to run this script?

Update: I've got the script running! Thanks for writing this!!!
