7. Git Aliases (+1)
7. Git Aliases
Useful Aliases:
# Add to ~/.gitconfig
git config --global alias.co checkout
git config --global alias.br branch
git config --global alias.ci commit
git config --global alias.st status
git config --global alias.unstage 'reset HEAD --'
git config --global alias.last 'log -1 HEAD'
git config --global alias.visual '!gitk'
Advanced Aliases:
# ~/.gitconfig
[alias]
# Status
st = status -sb
ss = status
# Branch operations
br = branch
bra = branch -a
brd = branch -d
brD = branch -D
# Checkout
co = checkout
cob = checkout -b
com = checkout main
# Commit
ci = commit
cia = commit --amend
ciane = commit --amend --no-edit
wip = !git add -A && git commit -m 'WIP'
# Diff
df = diff
dfs = diff --staged
dfw = diff --word-diff
# Log
lg = log --graph --oneline --decorate -20
lga = log --graph --oneline --decorate --all
ll = log --pretty=format:'%C(yellow)%h%C(reset) %s %C(blue)<%an>%C(reset) %C(green)(%cr)%C(reset)' -20
hist = log --pretty=format:'%h %ad | %s%d [%an]' --graph --date=short
# Stash
sl = stash list
sp = stash pop
ss = stash save
sd = stash drop
# Remote
pu = push
puf = push --force-with-lease
pl = pull
plr = pull --rebase
fe = fetch --all --prune
# Rebase
rb = rebase
rbi = rebase -i
rbc = rebase --continue
rba = rebase --abort
# Reset
undo = reset --soft HEAD~1
nuke = reset --hard HEAD
# Clean
clean-branches = !git branch --merged | grep -v '*' | xargs -n 1 git branch -d
# Find
find = !git ls-files | grep -i
grep = grep -Ii
# Utility
aliases = !git config --get-regexp '^alias\\.' | sed 's/alias\\.\\([^ ]*\\) \\(.*\\)/\\1\\\t => \\2/' | sort
contributors = shortlog -sn
8. Submodules
Basic Submodule Operations:
# Add submodule
git submodule add https://github.com/user/repo libs/repo
# Clone with submodules
git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/user/main-repo
# Initialize submodules after clone
git submodule init
git submodule update
# Or combined
git submodule update --init --recursive
# Update submodule to latest
cd libs/repo
git checkout main
git pull
cd ../..
git add libs/repo
git commit -m "Update submodule"
# Update all submodules
git submodule update --remote
Submodule Configuration:
# Track specific branch
git config -f .gitmodules submodule.libs/repo.branch main
# Shallow clone submodules
git config -f .gitmodules submodule.libs/repo.shallow true
# Update strategy
git submodule update --remote --merge # Merge changes
git submodule update --remote --rebase # Rebase changes
Submodule Workflow Script:
#!/bin/bash
# scripts/submodule-sync.sh
# ABOUTME: Synchronize all submodules
# ABOUTME: Updates submodules to latest remote commits
set -e
echo "Synchronizing submodules..."
# Initialize any new submodules
git submodule init
# Update all submodules to tracked branch
git submodule update --remote --merge
# Show status
git submodule status
echo "Submodules synchronized!"
