Here some git related functions in my.bachrc. Is mostly a backup for me, but it might also be useful for someone else.

Cloning a git repo

Because I usually clone repos from my github account, this is a shortcut that allows me to just typeclone *repo_name* and it will create the URL.

function clone {        if [ $# -eq 0 ]; then            echo "Please enter repo name or full url:";            read repo;            clone $repo;        elif [[ $1 == --help ]] || [[ $1 == --h ]] || [[ $1 == --? ]]; then            echo "This will clone a git repo.";            echo "";            echo "Option 1: You can just provide the name, eg:";            echo "$ clone membership";            echo "This will do: git clone https://github.com/phillip-kruger/membership.git";            echo "";            echo "Option 2: Provide the full URL";            echo "$ clone https://github.com/smallrye/smallrye-rest-client.git";            echo "This will do: git clone https://github.com/smallrye/smallrye-rest-client.git";        else                if [[ $1 == https://* ]] || [[ $1 == git://* ]] || [[ $1 == ssh://* ]] ; then                URL=$1;            else                URL='https://github.com/phillip-kruger/'$1'.git';            fi                echo git clone "$URL";            git clone "$URL";        fi    }    export -f clone

Usage:

clone *reponame* – this will go to my github account

clone *url* – clone the repo at the url

clone – will ask for the repo name or url

Syncing your fork to upstream

If you contribute to projects, and you are working against your own fork, this is a handy way to keep you fork in sync with changes in the upstream master.

function sync {        if git remote -v | grep -q 'upstream'; then            echo "upstream exist";        else            echo "Please enter the upstream git url:";            read url;            git remote add upstream "$url"        fi        git remote -v        git fetch upstream        git pull upstream master        git checkout master        git rebase upstream/master    }    export -f sync

Commit

Normalcommit, but adding-s to include your signature.

function commit {        if [ $# -eq 0 ]; then            echo "Please enter a commit message:";            read msg;            commit "$msg";        elif [[ $1 == --help ]] || [[ $1 == --h ]] || [[ $1 == --? ]]; then            echo "This will commit changes to a local git repo, eg:";            echo "$ commit 'some changes made'";            echo "This will do: git commit -s -m 'some changes made'";        else                echo git commit -s -a -m "$1"            git commit -s -a -m "$1";        fi    }    export -f commit
