# git-aliases
A collection of useful aliases for [git](https://git-scm.com/) with completion.
## Installation
At the moment support for [bash](https://www.gnu.org/software/bash/) and [zsh](https://ohmyz.sh/) is available. Defined aliases can likely be ported to other shells easily.
### bash
To use the aliases in bash you need to have the [git-completion.bash](https://github.com/git/git/blob/master/contrib/completion/git-completion.bash) script loaded in order to provide completion.
Copy the `git-aliases.bash` file to a location (e.g. your home directory). Then add the following lines to your `.bashrc`:
```bash
# Load git completion
source ~/.git-completion.bash
# Load git aliases
source ~/git-aliases.bash
```
After a restart of your shell or after issuing `source ~/.bashrc` the aliases become available.
### zsh
To use the aliases in zsh copy the `git-aliases.zsh` file to a location (e.g. your home directory). Then add the following lines to your `.zshrc`:
```bash
# Load git aliases
source ~/git-aliases.zsh
```
*No loading of completion scripts is neccessary since zsh provides this functionality.*
After a restart of your shell or after issuing `source ~/.zshrc` the aliases become vailable.
## Usage
After installation you can use the defined aliases like any other command.
### Base aliases
The following basic aliases are defined:
| Alias | Command |
| ------ | --------------- |
| g | git |
| gcl | git clone |
| gpl | git pull |
| gpu | git push |
| gf | git fetch |
| ga | git add |
| gc | git commit |
| gst | git stash |
| grst | git reset |
| gb | git branch |
| gco | git checkout |
| gcp | git cherry-pick |
| gm | git merge |
| grb | git rebase |
| gt | git tag |
| gl | git log |
| gr | git remote |
| gbs | git bisect |
### Advanced aliases
In addition to the base aliases additional aliases are defined to provide common command usages. These are always prefixed with the base alias.
Some common examples:
| Alias | Command |
| ------ | ------------------------ |
| gss | git status --short |
| gba | git branch --all |
| gplum | git pull upstream master |
| grbc | git rebase --continue |
| gcob | git checkout -b |
For a complete list see the `git-aliases.*` file.
