gitz 0.9.1

🗜 gitz - tiny useful git commands, some dangerous 🗜

This is a collection of a dozen little git utilities, each of which does one useful thing well.

• Eight only exist here

• Two come from other git repos

• One came from a chat on Reddit

• I don’t know where one of them came from

Three of them use Python 3, the rest use Bash.

There’s a summary of what each command does below - for more details use the -h flag like this:

git add -h
git

How to install

Download and unzip this directory, then put that directory’s path into the PATH environment variable.

Safe commands (that don’t rewrite history)

git-all

Perform a command on each of multiple branches or directories.

git-rot

Changes the current branch by rotating forward or backward in the branch list

git-ls

Like ls but shows git info, with good use of color (from an unknown source)

git-infer

Commit changes with an auto-generated message (from https://github.com/moondewio/git-infer)

git-open

Opens the GitHub page for a repo/branch in your browser (from https://github.com/paulirish/git-open)

git-st

Pretty, compact alternative to git-status (from https://www.reddit.com/user/ex1c)

Dangerous commands (that do rewrite history)

These commands are not intended for use on a shared or production branch, but can significantly speed up rapid development on private branches.

git-amp

AMend just the last commit message and force-Push, somewhat safely

git-combine

Combines multiple commit IDs together using cherry picking

git-rename

Renames a git branch _and_ its remote branch

git-snip

Delete one or more commits by commit id or position

git-split

Split a commit into individual changes, one per file
