# Peter's Dotfiles
Tools and shortcuts I built for myself to automate manual work so I can focus on what matters.\
These also help me to reduce the mental load of remembering and typing out commands.\
No-one gets paid because they know by heart how to do connect to staging in a particular project.
## Highlights
All the .sh files are loaded recursively.\
The local folder keeps everything I want to keep private, like API keys, secrets, etc.
### Terminal command palette
- cmd + shift + p: Open the command palette
- It is a fuzzy search for commands I defined globally and for the current folder
- Select a command then hit cmd + enter to paste it to the prompt and execute it
### Shortcuts
```shell
# Open a Ruby, Rails, Elixir, or Phoenix console depending on the current folder
$ c
# Start docker, start the containers, offer an fzf list to select a container
# to connect to
$ con
# Git update - for feature branch workflow
# Update the current Git branch with changes from the upstream main branch
# It's best to work with the most recent version of the app
# Steps it follows:
# - Pulls the latest changes to my local main and feature branch
# - Deletes the merged branches
# - Runs an after hook if a folder specifies one
# (run bundle install, yarn install, migrate the DB, etc.)
$ gupd
# Git: Discard all changes
$ nah
# GitX: Open the current Git repository in SourceTree
# It works even if the Git folder is several levels up
$ gx
# Git amend: Add all changes to the last commit. Useful for TDD
$ gam
# Git rebase interactive all: Starts an interactive rebase for all the commits
# on the current branch
$ grbia
# Git undo: Removes the last commit without losing its changes
$ gu
```
### Terminal prompt (Zsh)
- When in a Git repository:
- Normal mode: `"{top-level-directory} {git-branch}"`
- For example: "project_awesome main"
- It also adds a ! after the branch name if there is any change
- Stopping at a commit: `"{top-level-directory} rebase-i > {target-sha} | {commit-subject}"`
- For example: "project_awesome rebase-i > 123456 | Fix Stripe webhook verification"
- This lets me know which commit is problematic in case of a rebase conflict or which commit we stopped at during an interactive rebase
- When not in a Git repository:
- `"{top-level-directory}"`
### SourceTree custom actions

In SourceTree: Right click on a commit > Custom Actions > Fixup. It will create a fixup commit
for the selected commit using the files added to staging.

#### Amend all changes to the selected commit

all the changes to the selected commit.
