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-info

#!/bin/sh

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

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

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

# DESCRIPTION:
# This script displays the status and description 
# of the current branch

# USAGE: 
# 1. Make sure this file is named 'git-info' with no extension
# 2. Place this file into the same directory as git (should be \bin)
# 3. Use git info to run this command
