Repository files navigation

oh-my-zsh plugin for easy switching between git repositories. Just typesgr <some part of you repo's name>, press enter and you're there. For additional features, see below.

1. Clone the git repository

git clone https://github.com/robin-mbg/switch-git ${ZSH_CUSTOM:-~/.oh-my-zsh/custom}/plugins/switch-git

2. Enable the plugin in your.zshrc

plugins(    ...    ...    switch-git)

To update the plugin, you can use thesgu (switch_git_update) command. This pulls the most recent version from git.

switch-git provides you with thesgr (switch_git_repository) andsgb (switch_git_branch) commands. Feel free to shorten the commands further by setting other aliases in your.zshrc.

Simply callingsgr calls on a fuzzy-finding window provided byfzf to select one of your repositories. Instead of using the fuzzy finder, you can also directly add a search string. E.g. callingsgr switch may lead you to the switch-git repository on your local hard drive.

switch-git also provides you with the ability to execute git commands in the found repository. If a command is provided the switch only happens temporarily in the background to execute the call. Your working directory will then be restored.

The following command, for example, goes to the switch-git repository, executesgit pull --rebase and then restores the working directory.

sgr switch pull --rebase

Thesgb command calls on anfzf-provided interface to select and check out a git branch. Instead of using the fuzzy finder, you can also directly add add a search string. E.g. callingsgb feature will lead to a switch to the latest-used feature branch.
