git-friendly: pimp your git workflow

git-friendly is a collection of shell scripts for automating common git actions: push, pull, branch, merge. I got tired of typing 3 or 4 commands to do such basic stuff, and now my life is awesome.

• push also copies a GitHub compare URL to your clipboard for easy pasting (!)
• pull will run commands like “bundle install” or “npm install” after finishing
• branch will track remote branches if available
• relevant commands stash & pop local changes as needed
• less time fighting git = more time actually doing work

Check out the code and docs on GitHub

To install, just copy/paste: bash < <( curl https://github.com/jamiew/git-friendly/raw/master/install.sh)

Now get back to work:

Just listen to what everyone is saying!

• “Don’t let git PUSH you around. git git friendly!” –Max Salzberg, Diaspora*
• “I am putting the fucking ‘technology’ back in Free Art & Technology” –yours truly
