bash stuff.

Chris recently wrote about bash aliases for git development. It reminded me of some bash profile tweaking I have done as I’ve gotten into git.

I use subversion as well as git, and I already had some terse aliases ingrained.

alias up='svn up'
alias upi='svn up --ignore-externals'
alias st='clear; svn st --ignore-externals'
alias sv='svn revert'
alias sc='svn ci -m'
alias sd='svn diff | more'
alias svnc='clear; svn st | grep "^C"'
alias sres='svn resolved'

After I make changes to my profile, I use alias sp="source ~/.bash_profile" to load them. To switch to git mode in a shell, I use alias spgit="source ~/.git_profile" which redefines all the subversion aliases as git commands. I like Chris’ checkout function, but I’m going to keep my name for it.

alias up='git pull'
alias st='clear; git status'
alias sd='git diff'
alias sc='git commit -m'
alias sa='git add .'

# sb      => git checkout master
# sb bugs => git checkout bugs
function sb {
  if [ -z "$1" ]; then
    git checkout master
  else
    git checkout $1
  fi
}

Keeping the same aliases for conceptually similar tasks has helped to keep me from slowing down as I ease into git development.
