Aliases
I add the following to the bottom of my ~/.gitconfig
[alias]
st = status
ci = commit
co = checkout
br = branch --sort=committerdat
This allows me to do command like git st or git br instead of git status and git branch.
Destructively reset branch to remote
When my development branch is in complete disarray, I reset to the remote. I only do this know I have my work on other branches as this command is destructive.
git co development
git reset --hard origin/development
Delete merged branches
This will remove any branches that have been merged but will make sure ‘master’ and ‘development’ are not removed
git branch --merged | grep -v "\*" | grep -v develop | grep -v master | xargs -n 1 git branch -d
