Git Configuration

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.
• 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.
