The Ultimate Git Alias Setup

If you use git on the command-line, you'll eventually find yourself wanting aliases for your most commonly-used commands. It's incredibly useful to be able to explore your repos with only a few keystrokes that eventually get hardcoded into muscle memory.

Some people don't add aliases because they don't want to have to adjust to not having them on a remote server. Personally, I find that having aliases doesn't mean I that forget the underlying commands, and aliases provide such a massive improvement to my workflow that it would be crazy not to have them.

The simplest way to add an alias for a specific git command is to use a standard bash alias.

# .bashrc

	#!/bin/bash

	# Directory to store backups
	backup_dir="/home/zk/backup/bash_history"

	# Define filename with date-time stamp
	backup_filename="bash_history-$(date +'%Y-%m-%d-%Hh:%Mm:%Ss').txt"

	# Create the backup file
	cp ~/.bash_history "$backup_dir/$backup_filename"

	#Made with https://ezprompt.net/
	#Author: Z-Kaien, [email protected]
	# get current branch in git repo
	function parse_git_branch() {
	BRANCH=`git branch 2> /dev/null \| sed -e '/^[^]/d' -e 's/ \(.*\)/\1/'`
	if [ ! "${BRANCH}" == "" ]
	then
	STAT=`parse_git_dirty`
	echo "[${BRANCH}${STAT}]"
	else

	#!/usr/bin/env bash

	# To fix the " gpg: WARNING: unsafe permissions on homedir '/home/path/to/user/.gnupg' " error
	# Make sure that the .gnupg directory and its contents is accessibile by your user.
	chown -R $(whoami) ~/.gnupg/

	# Also correct the permissions and access rights on the directory
	chmod 600 ~/.gnupg/*
	chmod 700 ~/.gnupg

	## Sample initialization file for GNU nano.
	##
	## Please note that you must have configured nano with --enable-nanorc
	## for this file to be read! Also note that this file should not be in
	## DOS or Mac format, and that characters specially interpreted by the
	## shell should not be escaped here.
	##
	## To make sure a value is disabled, use "unset <option>".
	##
	## For the options that take parameters, the default value is given.

	removePath () {
	PATH=${PATH/":$1"/} # Remove if at the end
	PATH=${PATH/"$1:"/} # Remove if at the start or in the middle
	}
