Custom commands for git

How to use

1. Put the command bash files in a folder
2. Add the folder path to your PATH variable in your bash config file (.bashrc in Linux)

• Example: export PATH="$PATH:$HOME/Work/custom-git-commands"

3. Source the bash config file

• source ~/.bashrc (depending on your OS)

4. Set execution privileges to the command bash files using chmod +x

That's it.

Commands

1. git create

Scenario:

• You are working on a local folder.
• You want to initialize git and add a remote repo
• In this case, we go to the Github website and create a repo, then add the remote origin after initializing git using git init
• To make things more simple, you can use a single custom command.

Just use:

git create

It'll take the new_repo_name and your username as input. Set them and you're ready to go! A remote repo will be created on Github and the local repo will be linked with it.

2. git acp <commit-message> (Add-Commit-Push)

Scenario:

• You added a quickfix.
• You just want to add all changes and push.
• Why go through the steps of add -> commit -> push?

To just stage and push everything, right here right now, just use:

git acp "A bad commit message"

3. git get-changes <remote-branch>

Scenario:

• Suppose you are working on a local branch named kaaj-kortesi
• Somebody added their changes to a remote branch agaye-ache
• You need those changes on your local branch.
• So you stash-> switch branches -> pull from remote -> switch branches -> rebase -> apply stash
• Why the hustle?

To get the updates from agaye-ache, just use:

git get-changes agaye-ache

4. git dch (Delete Commit History)

Scenario:

• You want a fresh start with all your previous codes intact.
• You'd need to create a temp ORPHAN branch -> add all and commit to that branch -> delete old branch -> rename temp to the old branch name -> force push changes to remote

Instead of those steps, just use:

git dch
