git extras

The main git-extras command.

Output the current --version:

$ git extras

List available commands:

$ git extras --help

Update to the latest git-extras:

$ git extras update

git gh-pages

Sets up the gh-pages branch. (See GitHub Pages documentation.)

git feature|refactor|bug|chore

Create the given feature, refactor, bug or chore branch name:

$ git feature dependencies

Afterwards, the same command will check it out:

$ git checkout master
$ git feature dependencies

When finished, we can feature finish to merge it into the current branch:

$ git checkout master
$ git feature finish dependencies

All of this works with feature, bug, chore or refactor.

git contrib

Output author's contributions to a project:

$ git contrib visionmedia
visionmedia (18):
  Export STATUS_CODES
  Replaced several Array.prototype.slice.call() calls with Array.prototype.unshift.call()
  Moved help msg to node-repl
  Added multiple arg support for sys.puts(), print(), etc.
  Fix stack output on socket error
  ...

git summary

Outputs a repo summary:

$ git summary

git line-summary

WARNING: git line-summary has been replaced by git summary --line and will be removed in a future release.

git effort

Displays "effort" statistics, currently just the number of commits per file, showing highlighting where the most activity is. The "active days" column is the total number of days which contributed modifications to this file.

node (master): git effort --above 15 {src,lib}/*

If you wish to ignore files with commits <= a value you may use --above:

$ git effort --above 5

If you wish to see only the commits in the last month you may use --since (it supports the same syntax like git log --since):

 $ git effort --since='last month'

By default git ls-files is used, however you may pass one or more files to git-effort(1), for example:

$ git effort bin/* lib/*

git repl

GIT read-eval-print-loop:

$ git repl

git> ls-files
History.md
Makefile
Readme.md
bin/git-changelog
bin/git-count
bin/git-delete-branch
bin/git-delete-tag
bin/git-ignore
bin/git-release

git> quit

git commits-since

List commits since date (defaults to "last week"):

$ git commits-since
... changes since last week
TJ Holowaychuk - Fixed readme
TJ Holowaychuk - Added git-repl
TJ Holowaychuk - Added git-delete-tag
TJ Holowaychuk - Added git-delete-branch

$ git commits-since yesterday
... changes since yesterday
TJ Holowaychuk - Fixed readme

git count

Output commit count:

$ git count

total 1844

Output detailed commit count:

$ git count --all

git fork

Fork the given github <repo>. Like clone but forks first.

$ git fork https://github.com/LearnBoost/expect.js

or just:

$ git fork LearnBoost/expect.js

Does the following:

• forks the repo (prompts for github username and pass)
• clones the repo into the current directory
• adds the original repo as a remote so can track upstream changes
• all remotes refs use git over ssh

$ cd expect.js && git remote -v
origin          git@github.com:<user>/expect.js (fetch)
origin          git@github.com:<user>/expect.js (push)
upstream        git@github.com:LearnBoost/expect.js (fetch)
upstream        git@github.com:LearnBoost/expect.js (push)

git release

Release commit with the given <tag>:

$ git release 0.1.0

Does the following:

• Executes .git/hooks/pre-release.sh (if present)
• Commits changes (to changelog etc) with message "Release <tag>"
• Tags with the given <tag>
• Push the branch / tags
• Executes .git/hooks/post-release.sh (if present)

git alias

Define, search and show aliases.

Define a new alias:

$ git alias last "cat-file commit HEAD"

Search for aliases that match a pattern (one argument):

$ git alias ^la
last = cat-file commit HEAD

Show all aliases (no arguments):

$ git alias
s = status
amend = commit --amend
rank = shortlog -sn --no-merges
whatis = show -s --pretty='tformat:%h (%s, %ad)' --date=short
whois = !sh -c 'git log -i -1 --pretty="format:%an <%ae>

git ignore

Too lazy to open up .gitignore? Me too!

$ git ignore build "*.o" "*.log"
... added 'build'
... added '*.o'
... added '*.log'

Without any patterns, git-ignore displays currently ignored patterns:

$ git ignore
build
*.o
*.log

git info

$ git info

    ## Remote URLs:

    origin              git@github.com:sampleAuthor/git-extras.git (fetch)
    origin              git@github.com:sampleAuthor/git-extras.git (push)

git merge-into

Merge src branch into dest, and keep yourself on current branch. If src branch not given, it will merge current one to dest:

$ git merge-into [src] dest

git graft

Merge commits from src-branch into dest-branch.

$ git graft new_feature master

git squash

Merge commits from src-branch into the current branch as a single commit. Also works if a commit reference from the current branch is provided. When [msg] is given git-commit(1) will be invoked with that message. This is useful when small individual commits within a topic branch are irrelevant and you want to consider the topic as a single change.

$ git squash fixed-cursor-styling
$ git squash fixed-cursor-styling "Fixed cursor styling"
$ git squash 95b7c52
$ git squash HEAD~3
$ git squash HEAD~3 "Work on a feature"

git authors

Populates the file matching authors|contributors -i with the authors of commits, according to the number of commits per author.

Opens the file in $EDITOR when set.

See the "MAPPING AUTHORS" section of git-shortlog(1) to coalesce together commits by the same person.

Updating AUTHORS file:

$ git authors && cat AUTHORS

TJ Holowaychuk <tj@vision-media.ca>
Tj Holowaychuk <tj@vision-media.ca>
hemanth.hm <hemanth.hm@gmail.com>
Jonhnny Weslley <jw@jonhnnyweslley.net>
nickl- <github@jigsoft.co.za>

git changelog

Generates a changelog from git(1) tags (annotated or lightweight) and commit messages. Existing changelog files with filenames that begin with Change or History will be identified automatically with a case insensitive match pattern and existing content will be appended to the new output generated--this behavior can be disabled by specifying the prune option (-p|--prune-old). The generated file will be opened in $EDITOR when set.

If no tags exist, then all commits are output; if tags exist, then only the most-recent commits are output up to the last identified tag. This behavior can be changed by specifing one or both of the range options (-f|--final-tag and -s|--start-tag).

The following options are available:

  -a, --all                 Retrieve all commits (ignores --start-tag, --final-tag)
  -l, --list                Display commits as a list, with no titles
  -t, --tag                 Tag label to use for most-recent (untagged) commits
  -f, --final-tag           Newest tag to retrieve commits from in a range
  -s, --start-tag           Oldest tag to retrieve commits from in a range
  -n, --no-merges           Suppress commits from merged branches
  -p, --prune-old           Replace existing Changelog entirely with new content
  -x, --stdout              Write output to stdout instead of to a Changelog file
  -h, --help, ?             Usage help

Type git changelog --help for basic usage or man git-changelog for more information.

NOTE: By default, git changelog will concatenate the content of any detected changelog to its output. Use the -p option to prevent this behavior.

Examples

Generate a new changelog consisting of all commits since the last tag, use the tag name 1.5.2 for the title of this recent commits section (the date will be generated automatically as today's date):

$ git changelog --tag 1.5.2 && cat History.md

git setup

Set up a git repository (if one doesn't exist), add all files, and make an initial commit. dir defaults to the current working directory.

git scp

A convenient way to copy files from the current working tree to the working directory of a remote repository. If a <commits>... is provided, only files that has changed within the commit range will be copied.

Internally this script uses rsync and not scp as the name suggests.

git-rscp - The reverse of git-scp. Copies specific files from the working directory of a remote repository to the current working directory.

Examples

Copy unstaged files to remote. Useful when you want to make quick test without making any commits

$ git scp staging

Copy staged and unstaged files to remote

$ git scp staging HEAD

Copy files that has been changed in the last commit, plus any staged or unstaged files to remote

$ git scp staging HEAD~1

Copy files that has been changed between now and a tag

$ git scp staging v1.2.3

Copy specific files

$ git scp staging index.html .gitignore .htaccess

Copy specific directory

$ git scp staging js/vendor/

git touch

Call touch on the given file, and add it to the current index. One-step creation of new files.

git obliterate

Completely remove a file from the repository, including past commits and tags.

git obliterate secrets.json

git local-commits

List all commits on the local branch that have not yet been sent to origin. Any additional arguments will be passed directly to git log.

git archive-file

Creates an zip archive of the current git repository. The name of the archive will depend on the current HEAD of your git respository.

git missing

Print out which commits are on one branch or the other but not both.

$ git missing master
< d14b8f0 only on current checked out branch
> 97ef387 only on master

git rebase-patch

Given a patch that doesn't apply to the current HEAD, find the latest commit it applies to and do a rebase. For example:

$ git rebase-patch test.patch
Trying to find a commit the patch applies to...
Patch applied to dbcf408dd26 as 7dc8b23ae1a
First, rewinding head to replay your work on top of it...
Applying: test.patch
Using index info to reconstruct a base tree...
Falling back to patching base and 3-way merge...

$ git setup
$ git checkout -b hello
$ echo hello >> README.md
$ git delta
README.md
$ touch Makefile
$ git add Makefile
$ git delta
Makefile
README.md

git merge-repo

Merges two repository histories.

$ git merge-repo other-repo.git master new_dir

The above merges other-repo.git's master branch into the current repository's new_dir directory.

$ git merge-repo git@github.com:tj/git-extras.git master .

The above merges a remote repo's master branch into the current repository's directory, not preserving history.

git psykorebase

Rebase a branch on top of another using a merge commit and only one conflict handling.

$ git psykorebase master

The above rebase the current branch on top of master branch .
