Humorous aliases for common (and less common) git commands

Esoteric Git

Spice up your use of git with these aliases for common (and less common) git commands.

Installation

1. Clone the repository or download zip
2. Run install.sh. You might need to add execution rights to the file using chmod
3. Enjoy!
   Note: For all the aliases to work, at least the folder scripts/ needs to remain where you cloned and installed the them.

Windows

• Clone and run using the Git Bash

Removing

• Run uninstall.sh

Aliases

All of the aliases can be found in aliases.txt.

Contributing

• Fork the repository to your profile

• Clone and edit aliases.txt

• Make sure to sort them alphabetically and follow this format:

  <alias-name> "<git command not starting with git>"
  

• Run reload.sh to quickly uninstall and reinstall while developing

• Commit and make a pull request

• Complicated commands will need a script external to git. This can be done like this:

  • Add your script in scripts/

  • Add an alias to it like this:

    <alias-name> "$script/<script-name>.sh"
    

Todo

• Make install/uninstall scripts for windows
• Add option to add aliases to the local git config only
• Add scripts external to git for more complex operations Needs to be tested on windows
• Add option to comment out lines in aliases.txt
