When `git load` is invoked it will check if the subject of the `HEAD`
commit message is `temp!`, if it is when the commit will be reset,
otherwise an error message is output and the commit remains untouched.

Aliases

A set of 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.
  • checkout-last checkout the last branch, shorthand for git checkout $(git last).
  • 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 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.
