So You Think You Know Git

I’ve been working with Git for a while and for a long time I did not know I could take the Git use to the next level. I thought Git is merely add, commit push and pull. And I could survive most of the time with these simple command, until …

Here is the list of my git tools that have taken my work skill to the next level, and I hope it will help you too.

Set below for your.gitconfig file:

[alias]
 graph = log --oneline --graph --decorate
 ls = log --pretty=format:"%C(yellow)%h%Cred%d\\ %Creset%s%Cblue\\ [%cn]" --decorate
 ll = log --pretty=format:"%C(yellow)%h%Cred%d\\ %Creset%s%Cblue\\ [%cn]" --decorate --numstat
 lds = log --pretty=format:"%C(yellow)%h\\ %ad%Cred%d\\ %Creset%s%Cblue\\ [%cn]" --decorate --date=short
 conflicts = diff --name-only --diff-filter=U
 local-branches = !git branch -vv | cut -c 3- | awk '$3 !~/\\[/ { print $1 }'
 recent-branches = !git branch --sort=-committerdate | head
 authors = !git log --format='%aN <%aE>' | grep -v 'users.noreply.github.com' | sort -u --ignore-case
 search = "!f() { git rev-list --all | xargs git grep -F \"$1\"; }; f"
 dl = "!git ll -1" # Show modified files in last commit:latest commit
 dlc = diff --cached HEAD^ # Show modified files in last commit:latest commit
 dr  = "!f() { git diff "$1"^.."$1"; }; f" # git dr <commit-id> 
        lc  = "!f() { git ll "$1"^.."$1"; }; f" # git lc <commit-id> # show modified files in <commit-id>
        f = "!git ls-files | grep -i" # git f <filename> # search <filename> in all files
 bb = !/Users/davidlee/.dotfiles/scripts/better-branch.sh
 fza = "!git ls-files -m -o --exclude-standard | fzf -m --print0 | xargs -0 git add"
 alias = ! git config --get-regexp ^alias\\. | sed -e 's/^alias\\.\\([^ ]*\\) \\(.*\\)$/\\x1b[36m\\1\\x1b[0m=\\x1b[35m\\2\\x1b[0m/'
[core]
 pager = diff-so-fancy | less --tabs=4 -RF
[interactive]
 diffFilter = diff-so-fancy --patch
