Oh my zsh git plugin cheatsheet

#zsh #shell #webdev

Some useful shortcuts I use with oh-my-zsh git plugin.

Alias	Command	Notes
`gb`	`git branch`	List of local branches
`gba`	`git branch -a`	List of local and remote branches
`gcam`	`git commit -am`	Add all files to stage and commit
`gcmsg`	`git commit -m`	Git commit message
`gco`	`git checkout`	Change branch
`gco -`	`git checkout` to the previous branch	Change branch to the previous one
`gd`	`git diff`	Files differences in staging
`gfa`	`git fetch --all --prune`	Fetch all remote branches, delete branch if upstream is gone
`gl`	`git pull`	Pull from remote
`gp`	`git push`	Push to remote
`gpsup`	`git push --set-upstream origin [currentbranch]`	Set upstream branch
`gst`	`git status`	Local files to commit

Add your zsh aliases

Open zsh configuration file

nano ~/.zshrc

Add aliases using the syntax

alias [name]='[command]'

For instance, these are my aliases in .zshrc file

alias gflbs='git flow bugfix start'
alias gflbf='git flow bugfix finish'

alias gbm='git branch -m'
alias gbD='git branch -D'
alias gbuu='git branch --unset-upstream'

To apply these changes, you should close the tab and open a new one or you can run

source ~/.zshrc

or shorter version

. ~/.zshrc

My aliases
