# Git Aliases
This is my personal git aliases I use. Some I picked up, some created and some stolen from [durdn](https://github.com/durdn/cfg/blob/master/.gitconfig) (Check him out. He has a lot of cool aliases that don't fit my use cases but might fit yours).
Feel free to read through them in [.gitconfig](.gitconfig) (I gave a description for some of them in [#What they do?](#what-they-do)). Or go straight to [adding them](#how-to-use) to your config file.
## What they do?
Most of them are simple shortcuts
```ini
ci = commit
cl = clone
br = branch
```
Some with parameters or sub commands
```ini
cian = commit --amend --no-edit
cob = checkout -tb
st = status -sb
sl = stash list
po = push -u origin HEAD
```
### Fancier aliases
- [git um](#git-um)
- [git lsa](#git-lsa)
- [git qc](#git-qc)
- [git lc](#git-lc)
- [git lg](#git-lg)
#### git um
> update master/main
checkout master or main (which ever is present) and pull
Expanded:
```bash
!(git checkout master || git checkout main) && git pull -r
```
#### git lsa
> ls aliases
Expanded:
```bash
!git config -l \| grep ^alias \| cut -c 7- \| awk -F= '{first=$1;$1=\"\";printf(\"%-12s %s\\n\",first,$0);}'"
```
Output:
```bash
$ git lsa
ci commit
cia commit --amend
cian commit --amend --no-edit
cim commit -m
co checkout
cob checkout -tb
st status -sb
cl clone
br branch
r reset
cp cherry-pick
gr grep -Ii
s stash
sl stash list
sa stash apply
ss stash save
lasttag describe --tags --abbrev 0
lt describe --tags --abbrev 0
p push
po push -u origin HEAD
um !(git checkout master || git checkout main) && git pull -r
lsa-raw !git config -l | grep ^alias | cut -c 7-
lsa !git lsa-raw | awk -F '{first $1;$1 "";printf("%-12s %s\n",first,$0);}'
lsal !git lsa-raw | awk -F '{first $1;$1 "";printf("%12s %s\n",first,$0);}'
qc !f() { git stash && git um && git co -tb "$1" && git stash pop && git add . && git ci -m "${1}: ${2}" -m '' -m "${3:-desc}"; } ; f
empty !git commit -am"[empty] Initial commit" --allow-empty
lightclone !echo -e "!--------------------!
lc lightclone
logg log --graph --oneline --decorate
logga logg --all
lg log --color --graph --pretty format:'%C(yellow)%h%Creset -%C(cyan)%d%Creset %s %Cgreen(%cr) %C(bold blue)<%an>%Creset' --abbrev-commit
lga lg --all
glsa !git lsa | grep
```
Alternatives:
- `git lsa-raw`: no formatting
- `git lsal`: left padding for the alias name
```text
lg log --color --graph --pretty format:'%C(yellow)%h%Creset -%C(cyan)%d%Creset %s %Cgreen(%cr) %C(bold blue)<%an>%Creset' --abbrev-commit
lga '!git lol --all'
```
- `git glsa`: lsa with grep
```bash
$ git glsa lsa
lsa-raw !git config -l | grep ^alias | cut -c 7-
lsa !git lsa-raw | awk -F '{first $1;$1 "";printf("%-12s %s\n",first,$0);}'
lsal !git lsa-raw | awk -F '{first $1;$1 "";printf("%12s %s\n",first,$0);}'
glsa !git lsa | grep
```
#### git qc
> quick commit
Parameters:
1. Feature Name/Ticket Name: used in branch name and commit message
2. Commit message (optional)
3. Commit Description (optional)
Expanded:
```bash
"!f() { git stash && git um && git co -tb \"$1\" && git stash pop && git add . && git ci -m \"${1}: ${2}\" -m '' -m \"${3:-desc}\"; } ; f"
```
Buckle Up!
1. stash
2. checkout and update master ([git um](#git-um))
3. create a new branch with the given ticket name
4. pop stash
5. add all
6. commit using parameters
#### git lc
> light clone
alias: `git lightclone`
Only use this for checking out a repo you just found. Using `depth` when cloning a repo for development can lead to unexpected behavior.
Expanded:
```bash
echo XXXX && git clone --depth 10 --single-branch
```
Example:
Normal:
```bash
$ git clone https://github.com/facebook/react.git
Cloning into 'react'...
remote: Enumerating objects: 215295, done.
Receiving objects: 17% (37309/215295), 40.29 MiB | 3.07 MiB/s
# ctrl c
```
light clone:
```bash
$ git lc https://github.com/facebook/react.git
!--------------------!
Depth is set to 10!
Can lead to UNEXPECTED behaviour.
Useful if you are only checking out repo, not using it for development
!--------------------!
Cloning into 'react'...
remote: Enumerating objects: 2827, done.
remote: Counting objects: 100% (2827/2827), done.
remote: Compressing objects: 100% (2334/2334), done.
remote: Total 2827 (delta 699), reused 1043 (delta 383), pack-reused 0
Receiving objects: 100% (2827/2827), 5.91 MiB | 656.00 KiB/s, done.
Resolving deltas: 100% (699/699), done.
```
#### git lg
> log
`git log` with custom formatting (one liners, relative time from commit, author name).
Expanded:
```bash
log --color --graph --pretty=format:'%C(yellow)%h%Creset -%C(cyan)%d%Creset %s %Cgreen(%cr) %C(bold blue)<%an>%Creset' --abbrev-commit
```

## How to use?
You can either copy the content of [.gitconfig](.gitconfig) to your `~/.gitconfig`. Or execute [add_aliases.sh](add_aliases.sh) to add them to your `~/.gitconfig`.
To learn more about how the [add_aliases.sh](add_aliases.sh) was generated, Checkout [Github Action](#github-action) section.
## Github Action
uses [update_aliases.sh](update_aliases.sh) to update [add_aliases.sh](add_aliases.sh) on push.
Steps:
1. Checkout code.
2. Generate a new [add_aliases.sh](add_aliases.sh) script from [.gitconfig](.gitconfig) using [update_aliases.sh](update_aliases.sh).
3. Compare the newly generated [add_aliases.sh](add_aliases.sh) file with the one already present.
4. If there's a difference
1. Replace old [add_aliases.sh](add_aliases.sh) with the updated one
2. Commit the update.
