- Put the command bash files in a folder
- Add the folder path to your PATH variable in your bash config file (.bashrc in Linux)
- Example:
export PATH="$PATH:$HOME/Work/custom-git-commands"
- Source the bash config file
source ~/.bashrc(depending on your OS)
- Set execution privileges to the command bash files using
chmod +x
That's it.
Scenario:
- You are working on a local folder.
- You want to initialize git and add a remote repo
- In this case, we go to the Github website and create a repo, then add the remote origin after initializing git using
git init - To make things more simple, you can use a single custom command.
Just use:
git create
It'll take the new_repo_name and your username as input. Set them and you're ready to go! A remote repo will be created on Github and the local repo will be linked with it.
Scenario:
- You added a quickfix.
- You just want to add all changes and push.
- Why go through the steps of
add -> commit -> push?
To just stage and push everything, right here right now, just use:
git acp "A bad commit message"
Scenario:
- Suppose you are working on a local branch named
kaaj-kortesi - Somebody added their changes to a remote branch
agaye-ache - You need those changes on your local branch.
- So you
stash-> switch branches -> pull from remote -> switch branches -> rebase -> apply stash - Why the hustle?
To get the updates from agaye-ache, just use:
git get-changes agaye-ache
Scenario:
- You want a fresh start with all your previous codes intact.
- You'd need to
create a temp ORPHAN branch -> add all and commit to that branch -> delete old branch -> rename temp to the old branch name -> force push changes to remote
Instead of those steps, just use:
git dch
