GITips & GITricks

There have already been several articles where the authors talked about how to brighten up console everyday life with git. In the last link, the author suggests creating aliases, for c-git operation, directly in the shell. This is not a very good way, if only because, for example, the gc alias will conflict with the same-name command of the graphviz package. git itself perfectly knows how to work with its own aliases.


I will not go into the details of each command, there is enough documentation about them on the habr, but I’ll just post part of my .gitconfig.

s = status
b = branch
ba = branch -a -v -v
bs = !git-branch-status
bsi = !git-branch-status -i
ci = commit
co = checkout

dsp = diff -C --stat -p
dw = diff -C --color-words

We add this piece of code to $ HOME / .gitconfig and use it with great pleasure. Svn users will not be confused between svn co / git co, git users will get a colored commit history and convenient shortcuts.

Well, and as a bonus, the output of the current branch in the invitation line:

add to $ HOME / .bashrc
export PS1='\[\033[01;32m\]\u@\h\[\033[01;34m\] \w $(__git_ps1 "(%s)") \$\[\033[00m\] '
we get:
