Custom git commands

This is a collection of new git commands which each have a series of git commands which are often used after each other.

Use with caution they don't have any fail saves (yet)!

Usage

To be able to use the commands you will need to add the cloned repository direction to the shell's path variable. These are the ways that are currently tested and working.

Linux bash

For a one time use case type export PATH=$PATH:<PATH_TO_REPOSITORY> in the terminal. To access the commands permanently add export PATH=$PATH:<PATH_TO_REPOSITORY> to the .bashrc file which path is ~/.bashrc.

Windows MINGW64

For a one time use case type export PATH=<PATH_TO_REPOSITORY>:$PATH in the terminal. To make it permanent navigate to C:\Users\<USER_NAME> add export PATH=<PATH_TO_REPOSITORY>:$PATH to the .bash_profile. if the .bash_profile file does not exists, create it.

Windows GitKraken

In linux using the commands in the gitkraken terminal is simple it just uses the .bashrc file like explained in Linux bash. Adding the commands to the GitKraken terminal on Windows however, takes quite some digging, for as far as tested the change can only be made permanently. Navigate to the terminal config file which is located in this folder:

C:\Users\<USER_NAME>\AppData\Local\gitkraken\app-<CURRENT_VERSION>\resources\app.asar.unpacked\resources\cli\win\GKPrompt

Edit the GKPrompt.psm1 file, and add $env:Path += ";<PATH_TO_REPOSITORY>" to the top of the Prompt function.

Commands

git-remote-branch

git remote-branch <BRANCH_NAME>

This will create a new branch, check it out, and push it to the origin with the --set-upstream flag.

git-commit-push

git commit-push <"COMMIT_MESSAGE">

This will stage all the current changes with git add *, commit them, and push it to the origin. Note: the message argument needs the ' or " for it to work, just like git commit -m.

git-finish-branch

git finish-branch <MERGING_BRANCH:current_branch> <RECEIVING_BRANCH:development>

This will checkout the RECEIVING_BRANCH, merge the MERGING_BRANCH into the RECEIVING_BRANCH with the --no-ff flag and the message merged 'MERGING_BRANCH' into RECEIVING_BRANCH, push it to the origin of the RECEIVING_BRANCH, and finally delete the MERGING_BRANCH locally and remotely.

The first argument is the branch which needs to be merged, it has a default value of the branch where the command is started from. The second argument is the branch where the merging branch is merged into, it has a default value of the development.

git-delete-branch

git delete-branch <BRANCH_TO_DELETE> <CHECKOUT_BRANCH:development>

This will checkout to CHECKOUT_BRANCH, delete BRANCH_TO_DELETE locally, push to the origin of BRANCH_TO_DELETE with the -d flag, to delete it remotely. The second argument is the branch which is checkedout, it has a default value of development.

TODO

• Test and add fail saves to the git-finish-branch command.
• Test and add fail saves to the git-delete-branch command.
• Add a init with and with origin command.
