git extras

The main git-extras command.

Output the current --version:

$ git extras --version

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/Merge the given feature, refactor, bug or chore branch name:

$ git feature dependencies

To Setup a remote tracking branch:

$ git feature dependencies -r upstream

Note: If no remote name is passed with the -r option, it will push to origin.

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

Note: If a remote is setup to track the branch, it will be deleted.

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 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}/*

git effort

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 bulk

git bulk adds convenient support for operations that you want to execute on multiple git repositories.

simply register workspaces that contain multiple git repos in their directory structure
run any git command on the repositories of the registered workspaces in one command to git bulk
use the “guarded mode” to check on each execution

usage: git bulk [-g] ([-a]|[-w <ws-name>]) <git command>
       git bulk --addworkspace <ws-name> <ws-root-directory> (--from <URL or file>)
       git bulk --removeworkspace <ws-name>
       git bulk --addcurrent <ws-name>
       git bulk --purge
       git bulk --listall

$ git bulk --addworkspace personal ~/workspaces/personal

With option --from the URL to a single repository or a file containing multiple URLs can be added and they will be cloned diretly into the workspace. Suitable for the initial setup of a multi-repo project.

$ git bulk --addworkspace projectX ~/workspaces/projectx --from https://github.com/x/project-x.git

# OR with a file containing many repositories on each line:
$ git bulk --addworkspace projectX ~/workspaces/projectx --from ~/workspaces/repositories.txt

with repositories.txt be like:

https://github.com/x/project-x-1.git
https://github.com/x/project-x-2.git
https://github.com/x/project-x-3.git

$ git bulk --addcurrent personal

List all registered workspaces:

$ git bulk --listall
bulkworkspaces.personal /Users/niklasschlimm/workspaces/personal

Run a git command on the repositories of the current workspace:

$ git bulk fetch

fetchdemo

Run a git command on one specific workspace and its repositories:

$ git bulk -w personal fetch

Run a git command on all workspaces and their repositories:

$ git bulk -a fetch

Run a git command but ask user for confirmation on every execution (guarded mode):

$ git bulk -g fetch

Remove a registered workspace:

$ git bulk --removeworkspace personal

Remove all registered workspaces:

$ git bulk --purge

git brv

Pretty listing of branches sorted by the date of their last commit.

git repl

Git read-eval-print-loop. Lets you run git commands without typing ‘git’.

Commands can be prefixed with an exclamation mark (!) to be interpreted as a regular command.

Type exit or quit to end the repl session.

$ git repl
git version 2.9.2
git-extras version 3.0.0
type 'ls' to ls files below current directory,
'!command' to execute any command or just 'subcommand' to execute any git subcommand

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 if configured, otherwise https will be used

$ 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 force-clone

If the clone target directory exists and is a git repository, reset its contents to a clone of the remote.

$ git force-clone [-b {branch_name}] {remote_url} {destination_path}
$ git force-clone -b master https://github.com/tj/git-extras ./target-directory

CAUTION: If the repository exists, this will destroy all local changes to the repository - changed files will be reset and local branches will be removed.

More information.

git release

Release commit with the given <tag> and other options:

$ git release 0.1.0

If you are using semver in your project, you could also use the command below: (Run git help release for more information)

$ git release --semver major/minor/patch

Does the following:

Executes .git/hooks/pre-release.sh (if present), passing it the given tag and remain arguments
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), passing it the given tag and remain arguments

git rename-branch

Rename a branch locally, and sync to remote via git push.

# renames any branch
$ git rename-branch old-name new-name

# renames current branch
$ git rename-branch new-name

git rename-tag

Rename a tag (locally and remotely).

$ git tag test
$ git push --tags
Total 0 (delta 0), reused 0 (delta 0)
To git@myserver.com:myuser/myrepository.git
    * [new tag]         test -> test
$ git tag
test
$ git rename-tag test test2
Deleted tag 'test' (was 1111111)
Total 0 (delta 0), reused 0 (delta 0)

    * [new tag]         test2 -> test2
remote: warning: Deleting a non-existent ref.
To git@myserver.com:myuser/myrepository.git
    - [deleted]         refs/tag/test
$ git tag
test2

git reauthor

Rewrite history to change author’s identity.

Replace the personal email and name of Jack to his work ones

$ git reauthor --old-email jack@perso.me --correct-email jack@work.com --correct-name 'Jack Foobar'

Replace the email and name of Jack to the ones defined in the Git config

$ git reauthor --old-email jack@perso.me --use-config

Replace only the email of Jack (keep the name already used)

$ git reauthor --old-email jack@perso --correct-email jack@perso.me

Change only the committer email of Jack (keep the author email already used)

$ git reauthor --old-email jack@perso.me --correct-email jack@work.com --type committer

Set Jack’s identity as the only one of the whole repository

$ git reauthor --all --correct-email jack@perso.me --correct-name Jack

Set Jack as the only committer of the whole repository (keeps authors)

$ git reauthor --all --correct-email jack@perso.me --correct-name Jack --type committer

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 in both your global and your local .gitignore files:

$ git ignore
Global gitignore: /Users/foo/.gitignore_global
*~
.metadata
---------------------------------
Local gitignore: .gitignore
build
*.o
*.log

To show just the global or just the local file’s contents, you can use the following optional parameters:

-g or --global to show just the global file
-l or --local to show just the local file
-p or --private to show just the repository’s file

$ git ignore -g
Global gitignore: /Users/foo/.gitignore_global
*~
.metadata

$ git ignore -l
Local gitignore: .gitignore
build
*.o
*.log

git ignore-io

Generate sample gitignore file from gitignore.io

Without option, git ignore-io <type> shows the sample gitignore of specified types on screen.

$ git ignore-io vim

    # Created by https://www.gitignore.io/api/vim

    ### Vim ###
    [._]*.s[a-w][a-z]
    [._]s[a-w][a-z]
    *.un~
    Session.vim
    .netrwhist
    *~

To export it to .gitignore file you can use the following options:

-a or --append to append the result to .gitignore
-r or --replace to export .gitignore with the result

$ git ignore-io vim python

For efficiency, git ignore-io store all available types at ~/.gi_list. To list all the available types:

-l or -L : These two options will show the list in different format. Just try it.

You can also search type from the list by:

-s <word> or --search <word>

$ git ignore-io -s ja

    django
    jabref
    java
    ninja

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>

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 specifying 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 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 show-merged-branches

Show all branches merged in to current HEAD.

git show-unmerged-branches

Show all branches not merged in to current HEAD.

git show-tree

Show the decorated graph view of one liner summarized commits from all branches. For example, running git show-tree will display:

*   4b57684 (HEAD, develop) Merge branch upstream master.
|\
| *   515e94a Merge pull request #128 from nickl-/git-extras-html-hyperlinks
| |\
| | * 815db8b (nickl/git-extras-html-hyperlinks, git-extras-html-hyperlinks) help ronn make hyperlinks.
| * | 7398d10 (nickl/develop) Fix #127 git-ignore won't add duplicates.
| |/
| | * ab72c1e (refs/stash) WIP on develop: 5e943f5 Fix #127 git-ignore won't add duplicates.
| |/
|/|
* | 730ca89 (bolshakov) Rebase bolshakov with master
|/
* 60f8371 (origin/master, origin/HEAD, master) Merge pull request #126 from agrimaldi/fix-changelog-last-tag
...

Be free to try it for yourself!

git standup -a John -d 7

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 a zip archive of the current git repository. The name of the archive will depend on the current HEAD of your git repository.

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 lock

Lock a local file filename:

$ git lock config/database.yml

git locked

List local locked files:

$ git locked
config/database.yml

git unlock

Unlock a local file filename

$ git unlock config/database.yml

git reset-file

Reset one file to HEAD or certain commit

Reset one file to HEAD

$ git reset-file .htaccess

or reset one file to certain commit

$ git reset-file .htaccess dc82b19

git mr

Checks out a merge request from GitLab. Usage: git mr <ID|URL> [REMOTE]. Default remote is origin.

$ git mr 51
From gitlab.com:owner/repository
 * [new ref]         refs/merge-requests/51/head -> mr/51
Switched to branch 'mr/51'

With full URL, the head is fetched from a temporary remote pointing to the base URL.

$ git mr https://gitlab.com/owner/repository/merge_requests/51 
From gitlab.com:owner/repository
 * [new ref]         refs/merge-requests/51/head -> mr/51
Switched to branch 'mr/51'

Just like git pr, git mr accepts a clean argument to trash all mr/ branches. Ensure current branch is not one.

git paste

Sends commits to a pastebin site using pastebinit.

By default it sends the commits between your current branch and the branch your current branch is based on (the upstream branch).

$ git paste
https://paste.debian.net/1234567/

All options are passed to git format-patch --stdout so you can also pass options understood by git-rev-parse(1) in order to select a different set of commits.

$ git paste @^
https://paste.debian.net/1234567/

See the pastebinit documentation for information about how to chose a different pastebin site to the default.

git pr

Checks out a pull request from GitHub

$ git pr 226
From https://github.com/tj/git-extras
 * [new ref]       refs/pulls/226/head -> pr/226
Switched to branch 'pr/226'

To use a remote other than origin, e.g. upstream if you’re working in a fork, specify it as the second parameter:

$ git pr 226 upstream
From https://github.com/tj/git-extras
 * [new ref]       refs/pulls/226/head -> pr/226
Switched to branch 'pr/226'

You can also checkout a pull request based on a GitHub url

$ git pr https://github.com/tj/git-extras/pull/453
From https://github.com/tj/git-extras
 * [new ref]         refs/pull/453/head -> pr/453
Switched to branch 'pr/453'

To remove all local pull request branches, provide the magic clean parameter:

$ git pr clean
Deleted branch 'pr/226' (was 1234567).

git root

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 .

$ git psykorebase --continue

The above continue the rebase after conflicts have been handled.

git rebase-patch

Given you have a patch that doesn’t apply to the current HEAD, but you know it applied to some commit in the past, git rebase-patch will help you find that commit 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...
Auto-merging README.txt

Then your last commit has the changes of the patch and is named test.patch.
