git plugin

The git plugin provides many aliases and a few useful functions.

To use it, add git to the plugins array in your zshrc file:

plugins=(... git)

Main branch preference

Following the recent push for removing racially-charged words from our technical vocabulary, the git plugin favors using a branch name other than master. In this case, we favor the shorter, neutral and descriptive term main. This means that any aliases and functions that previously used master, will use main if that branch exists. We do this via the function git_main_branch.

Deprecated aliases

These are aliases that have been removed, renamed, or otherwise modified in a way that may, or may not, receive further support.

Alias	Command	Modification
gap	git add --patch	New alias: gapa.
gcl	git config --list	New alias: gcf.
gdc	git diff --cached	New alias: gdca.

ggpush	git push origin $(current_branch)	New alias: ggp. (ggpush still exists for now though.)
gk	gitk --all --branches	Now aliased to gitk --all --branches.
glg	git log --stat --max-count=10	Now aliased to git log --stat --color.
glgg	git log --graph --max-count=10	Now aliased to git log --graph --color.
gwc	git whatchanged -p --abbrev-commit --pretty = medium	New alias: gwch.
gup	git pull --rebase	now alias gpr
gupv	git pull --rebase -v	now alias gprv

Functions

Current

Command	Description
current_branch	Returns the name of the current branch.
git_current_user_email	Returns the user.email config value. (Lives in lib/git.zsh.)
git_current_user_name	Returns the user.name config value. (Lives in lib/git.zsh.)
git_develop_branch	Returns the name of the “development” branch: dev, devel, development if they exist, develop otherwise.
git_main_branch	Returns the name of the main branch: main if it exists, master otherwise.
grename <old> <new>	Renames branch <old> to <new>, including on the origin remote.
gbda	Deletes all merged branches
gbds	Deletes all squash-merged branches (Note: performance degrades with number of branches)

Work in Progress (WIP)

These features allow you to pause developing one branch and switch to another one ("Work in Progress", or “wip”). When you want to go back to work, just “unwip” it.

Command	Description
gwip	Commit wip branch
gunwip	Uncommit wip branch
gunwipall	Uncommit all recent --wip-- commits
work_in_progress	Echoes a warning if the current branch is a wip

Note that gwip and gunwip are aliases, but are also documented here to group all related WIP features.

Deprecated functions

Command	Description	Reason
current_repository	Return the names of the current remotes	Didn't work properly. Use git remote -v instead (grv alias).
