Although GIT is an old topic, still i am adding a collection of basic and useful git utilities and hacks that is helpful in day-to-day git cli interaction.
Reference to learn git command and usage
Setting up default credential
to setup the credential, we can create a .git-credentials file user home directory
https://<usernmae>:<password>@bitbucket.org
https://<usernmae>:<password>@github.comthese will be used during remote operation
Setup alias to the git command
to setup the alias, we can create a .gitconfig file at the git project
[alias]
co = checkout
ci = commit
st = status
br = branch
hist = log --pretty=format:'%h %ad | %s%d [%an]' --graph --date=short
type = cat-file -t
dump = cat-file -p
after setting this up, you can execute the command line
>>> git hist # instead of git log that will show a formatted outputYou can also define some other config as well
[user]
name = chandra
email = chandra
[cola]
spellcheck = false
[credential]
helper = store
[core]
filemode = falseyou can define this under user home directory to be effective at all or project wise as well
Ignoring some file [Project wise]
You can create a .gitignore file at root of the project to ignore some of the files from being part of the repo
# Node artifact files
node_modules/
dist/
# Compiled Java class files
*.class
Git repo options at local [project-wise]
Config
you can edit the file that is available under your local git repo at the path
.git/config
Hooks
You can also write shell script that can be called during git command interaction and you can put them under .git/hooks
like , execute some command before commit or after commit
There are already sample available, you can rename them
