Got a bunch of these from http://durdn.com/blog/2012/11/22/must-have-git-aliases-advanced-examples/

thanks for sharing these man, there are some gems in here 👍

trying to figure out how to have my gh-pages be a build folder inside the repo that is .gitignored from other branches.

breaks on gitignore

git push --force origin $(git commit-tree -m "auto" master:dist):gh-pages

hmmm

tree="$(export GIT_INDEX_FILE="$(mktemp)"; cat .git/index >"$GIT_INDEX_FILE"; git add -f dist && git write-tree --prefix=dist)"
    after that, imo you should do something like 
    git update-ref refs/heads/gh-pages "$(git commit-tree -p gh-pages -m auto "$tree")"

I have attempted to create a repository using curl and the RESTful Github API, The libcurl command works in the bash shell but not as an alias could somebody help me with this? Sorry in advance for necro'ing an old post but it is the most relevant to the work i am doing :)

create = !curl -H 'Authorization: token <My_Access_Token>' -d '{ "name": "<Repo_Name>", "private": false }' https://api.github.com/user/repos

Before anyone asks, Yes i have interchanged <My_Access_Token> with my actual developer token, same with <Repo_Name>

Thanks for sharing!

Gracias por compartir tu configuracion

A SUPER valuable one I use EVERY DAY as team lead both for myself and others, is:

    redate = rebase --committer-date-is-author-date

After a rebase, when you run it, it resets all of the commit dates to the author dates so your commit logs on github / gitlab show up in proper chronological order, instead of the moment of the rebase.

To use, when you're in a feature branch:

git rebase origin/master

dmerged = "git branch --merged | grep -v '\*' | xargs -n 1 git branch -d"

missing "!" ?

should be:

dmerged = "!git branch --merged | grep -v '\*' | xargs -n 1 git branch -d"

or better use egrep -v '(^\*|master|dev)' to avoid accident

@qins I decided to remove that one altogether as I never use it.

@JamesLaneProgramming , have you solved this problem? I'm trying to create the following alias (in the ~/.gitconfig file) for getting the default Python's .gitignore file:

[alias]
      ...
      ignore_python = "!wget -O ./.gitignore https://raw.githubusercontent.com/github/gitignore/master/Python.gitignore"

pu = !git push origin `git branch --show-current`

Push current branch to origin with the same name.

Hi!
I've been looking for days for a fetch+checkout (to the new branch) alias, couldn't find it. And I'm not experienced enough to write it myself.
All the time I'm doing

git fetch origin master:examplename
And then
git checkout examplename

Can any of you guys give me a hand?
Cheers

@martinmana

coom = "!f() { git fetch origin master:\"$1\"; git checkout \"$1\";}; f"

usage: git coom examplename

Thank you very much @weibangtuo . I would love to know all this stuff. That's amazing. I really appreciate this.
Again, I'm really new to all this world.
Is there any chance you could write exactly the command for me to create this alias? Like... exactly. I keep getting this
-bash: !f: event not found

Thank you in advance. Regards

@martinmana
you can edit gitconfig file vi ~/.gitconfig and add line to [alias] section.

or command

git config --global alias.coom "\!f() { git fetch origin master:\"\$1\"; git checkout \"\$1\";}; f"

@martinmana

You could change the co to always do a full fetch first. I don't see what that would hurt.

co = fetch && checkout

thank you for the great list of git alias!G

Any idea how to make those aliases to work with both master and main branch names? So that for example if main branch exists, pom pushes to main, if not, it pushes it to master.

pu = !git push origin git branch --show-current

Thanks for this one!

pu is simpler via git push -u origin HEAD :-)

  update = "!fn() { \
    repo=${2:-origin}; \
    if [[ $(git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD) = \"$1\" ]]; \
    then \
        git pull \"${repo}\"; \
    else \
        git fetch \"${repo}\" \"$1\":\"$1\"; \
    fi; \
    }; fn"

update master without checkout: git update master
update develop from upstream remote: get update develop upstream

git symbolic-ref refs/heads/master refs/heads/main will alias master to main. Not quite the answer I think you were looking for, but it should work.

I have following alias now: main = !git symbolic-ref refs/remotes/origin/HEAD | cut -d'/' -f4

git main returns main or master or any other default branch name for the origin/HEAD.

Then I use it in my aliases like this:

  com = "!f(){ git checkout $(git main) $@;}; f"

Which for example is an alias for checking out the default branch.

Another one, with arguments.

[alias]
# Add all files in staging + commit with message + push to remote
    acp = "!f() { git add -A ; git commit -m '$1'; git push; }; f"	

Example:

git acp "Fixing the bug"
