Custom commands

To use these, you need to add them to your $PATH. Add something like this to your ~/.profile or ~/.bash_profile or whatever:

export PATH=$PATH:<path/to/gitplus>/commands

Once added, you'll probably need to source your profile file or start a new terminal window. Then you'll have access to the following commands.

Note: git plus commands will automatically use the repo's default branch if a specific branch is not specified.

git plus

Run git plus upgrade to easily pull the latest of this repo's origin/default branch to your machine.

git start

Starts a branch.

# start a branch (off repo default branch by default)
$ git start FAD-1234

# start a branch off main, as specified
$ git start FAD-1234 main

git finish

Does a --no-ff merge to default branch.

Specify "push" as the last argument to auto-push merged branch(es).

# Merge FAD-1234 to default branch
$ git finish

# Merge to default branch and push merged branch to origin
$ git finish push

git update

Merges default branch into your current branch.

Specify "rebase" to rebase the changes rather than merge them.

# Merge default branch into your branch
$ git update

# Rebase default branch into your branch
$ git update rebase

List commits on your current branch in the origin remote that aren't present locally.

$ git in
