gitz 0.9.7

🗜 gitz - tiny useful git commands, some dangerous 🗜

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

Most of them only exist here, one comes from other git repos, one came from a chat on Reddit and I don’t know where one of them came from

Nine of them are written in 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 all -h

How to install

If you have pip installed

pip3 install gitz

Otherwise, download and uncompress this directory, then put that directory’s path into the PATH environment variable.

Getting help

Each command has detailed help available by calling it with the -f flag, like this: git all -h.

A summary of the commands follows:

Safe commands

Informational commands that don’t change your repository

git-fresh

Create and push fresh branches from a reference branch

git-gitz

Print information about the gitz environment

git-infer

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

git-ls

List each file with its most recent commit, in subtle color (from an unknown source)

git-rotate

Rotate the current branch forward or backward in the list of branches

git-st

Colorful, compact git status

This version written by https://github.com/PlatyPew/, original version by https://www.reddit.com/user/ex1c)

git-stripe

Push a sequence of commit IDs onto upstream branches

Dangerous commands that delete, rename or overwrite branches

git-copy

Copy a git branch locally and on all remotes

git-delete

Delete one or more branches locally and on all remotes

git-rename

Rename a git branch locally and on all remotes

By default, the branches develop and master and the remote upstream are not allowed to be copied, renamed, or deleted.

You can disable this by setting the --all/-a flag, or you can override the protected branches or remotes by setting the environment variables PROTECTED_BRANCHES or PROTECTED_REMOTES

Dangerous commands that 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

Combine multiple commits into one

git-shuffle

Reorder and delete commits in the existing branch

git-snip

Edit one or more commits out of history

git-split

Split a range of commits into many single-file commits

Dangerous commands that are janky

git-all is something I use all the time, but it only works in simple cases, and I don’t see a good path to making it do complicated things in a sane way.

git-all

Perform a command on each of multiple branches or directories
