# Git Configuration

## Aliases

A set of [Git][git] [aliases][aliases] which follow the idea "say what you mean"
rather than remembering the plumbing term of a specific command.

* `abandon` abandons all local changes leave a clean repository.
* `unstage` unstage staged changes, shorthand for `git reset -q HEAD --`.
* `amend` amends the last commit, shorthand for `git commit --amend`.
* `unamend` applies a negative diff of the last `git commit --amend`.
* `fixup` prepare to fixup a commit, shorthand for `git commit --fixup`.
* `squash` prepare to squash a commit, shorthand for `git commit --squash`.
* `prepare` prepare a branch for merging into another, shorthand for
  `git rebase --interactive --fork-point`.
* `list` list local branches, a shorthand for `git branch`.
* `local` list local branches which don't have remote tracking branches.
* `create` creates a new branch, shorthand for `git checkout -b`.
* `delete` deletes an existing branch, shorthand for `git branch -D`.
* `refname` the name of the current branch.
* `publish` push and set the tracking branch of a local branch to origin,
  shorthand for `git push -u origin <branch>`.
* `unpublish` delete a remote branch, shorthand for `git push origin :<branch>`.
* `force` force push local changes to the remote, shorthand for
  `git push --force-with-lease`.
* `changes` compare the list of commits on the local branch to another branch,
  e.g. when on a feature branch `git changes master` lists the commits which are
  not present on the master branch.
* `touched` lists the files which were touched by a selected commit.
* `save` like pushing to the stash but attached to the current branch, shorthand
  for `git commit -am "temp!"`.
* `load` like popping from the stash but attached to the current branch, if
  `HEAD` has the subject `temp!` then `git reset --mixed HEAD~` is executed,
  otherwise the message `error: commit subject is not: temp!` is output.

## Zsh Completions

The excellent [Git][git] completions provided by [Zsh][zsh] which can see
through [aliases][aliases] however some aliases involve multiple commands or
rely on the shell to function. The following aliases extend the default
[Git][git] completions.

* `git changes` completions for the branch name to compare with are provided.
