Usage

git info

Returns information about currently checked out branch

Example:

$ git info
Your current branch is feature/branch-1
Latest commit hash is a15d57512d1e26f4ba0732e8d59d5332110c9ae6

git cleanup

Deletes all local branches that no longer have an attached remote, i.e. merged branches. Excludes master, develop and main branches

Example:

$ git cleanup
Deleting branch hotfix/my-import-hotfix
Deleting branch hotfix/my-import-hotfix-final

git new

Creates a new branch with the given name, or if the branch exists, switches to it. The remote is also checked if it's not a branch you've used before (to ensure no conflicting names).

There's a [y/n] prompt in case you make a mistake in the name and you can abort.

Example:

$ git new my-new-feature
Branch my-new-feature does not exist. Do you want to create it? [y/n] y
Creating branch my-new-feature

git pr

Opens browser to the GitHub Pull Request page for your branch to develop. Add an argument for the branch to merge to

Example:

$ git pr # Opens browser to the GitHub PR page for your current branch to merge develop
$ git pr master # Opens browser to the GitHub PR page for your current branch to merge to master

git refresh

Updates your local master, develop, and current selected branch without changing branches

Example:

$ git refresh
Updating master... done
Updating develop... done
Updating feature/my-new-feature... done

git search

Searches local and remote branches by partial match. In supported shells, the partial is highlighted

Example:

$ git search feature
