Let’s tame git. Let’s create a rich set of commands and shortcuts that make sense and are intuitive. Let’s build a set of scripts that are callable by a single command, such as git uncommit or git rollback, i.e. commands that wrap up repetitive tasks and automate them via a single command. In this hands-on coding lab, you’ll build a rich collection of these commands via git aliases and bash scripting to git you more productive.
FACT: Git commands are weird.
FACT: Git forces you to type too much.
FACT: Your tools should support the way you like to work, require very little effort from you, and make you better and faster.
Let’s make git easier
and minimize the steps in your workflow!
We can tame git and build a rich set of commands that make your job and workflow so much easier. In this lab, you and I will walk through shortcut commands that I use all the time, many of which you will use too. You’ll configure aliases (shortcuts) for each and discover ways to make yourself more productive with git.
What You Will Learn & Get
