# 2018-05-06-git-aliases

The `.gitconfig` file in the `b-it-bots/dotfiles` repository contains some useful aliases to use with git.

### Installation

You can copy the contents of the file to the global `~/.gitconfig` if you want to use them in all your repositories (recommended).

If you only want to use them in the MAS repositories, copy them to the `.git/config` in your local copy.

### Usage

You can use git aliases like this:

```
git <alias>
```

#### Lists

* `branches` - List all your branches
* `tags` - List all your tags
* `stashes` - List all your stashes
* `remotes` - List all your remotes
* `aliases` - Shows a list of your existing aliases

#### Checking commit history

* `last` - Show your last commit
* `graph` - A graph version of who the commit history
* `prettylog` - Show a pretty log of the commit history
* `history` - Show the last 10 commits in a one line pretty format
* `scrum` - Show the commits made by you in the last day (Note: you need to change your name when you copy this alias)

#### Doing some work

* `precommit` -
* `unmerged` -
* `summary` - Show the status of files in a short format, including untracked files
* `unstash <stash index>` - To apply the stashed changes to your current workspace
* `squash <number of commits>` - Combine several commits into one
* `branchdiff` - Like `git diff` but for branches

#### Undoing some work

* `unstage` - Unstage all files that are currently added but have not yet been commited. &#x20;
* `discard` - Discarding changes in file(s)
* `uncommit` - Revert your last commit
* `amend` - Ammend (fix) your last commit message
* `nevermind` - **CAUTION**: Discard all the changes on your local directory
