# Git Configuration

## Aliases

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

* `abandon` abandons all local changes leave a clean repository.
* `amend` amends the last commit, shorthand for `git commit --amend`.
* `unstage` unstage staged changes, shorthand for `git reset -q HEAD --`.
* `squash` perform an interactive rebase to squash all commits since branching,
  shorthand for `git rebase -i --fork-point`.
* `list` list local branches, a shorthand for `git branch`.
* `create` creates a new branch, shorthand for `git checkout -b`.
* `delete` deletes an existing branch, shorthand for `git branch -D`.
* `name` the name of the current branch.
* `last` the name of the last branch checked out before 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.
* `save` like pushing to the stash but attached to a branch, shorthand for
  `git commit -am temp`.
* `load` like popping from the stash but attached to a branch, shorthand for
  `git reset --mixed HEAD`.
