My `git` aliases

I use the following aliases in git all the time.

Status Info

`br = branch`

Simple branch info. No muss, no fuss.

`bra = branch -v`

Branch info with just a little more muss & fuss.

`st = status --ignore-submodules=dirty`

Current status, excluding changes in those dirty little submodules.

Preparing for commit

`unstage = reset HEAD --`

Remove all, one or many files from staging.

`co = checkout`

revert one or more files back to original state.
move to another branch.

Log Viewing

`lm = log master..`

Show me commits on this branch that differ from master.

`mt = mergetool`

Bring up visual merge.

`lg = log --graph --pretty=format:'%Cred%h%Creset -%C(magenta)%d%Creset %s %Cgreen(%cr) %C(bold blue)<%an>%Creset' --abbrev-commit --date=relative`

Show me the first line of each commit, with simple branch info & visualization.

`lgm = log master.. --graph --pretty=format:'%Cred%h%Creset - %s' --abbrev-commit`

Show me commits with first line of everything that’s changed since master.

Cleanup & Pushing

`pom = push origin master`

Horrible command, do not add this one. You’ll use it all the time. Even when you don’t intend to.

`remas = rebase master`

Rebase on master.

`fixup = commit --amend --reuse-message HEAD`

add files to staging
update the last commit with them

Pausing a Branch

`wip = commit -a -m "WIP"`

Checkin all current files and denote that the work contained there is not complete. Usefull when you want to move to a new branch, but not lose track of exactly where you were on the current branch.

See go below for picking back up.

`go = reset HEAD^`

Pop off the latest commit on a branch and go back to working on it. Best when used in conjunction with wip

[Alias] from `~/.gitconfig`
