Something I came up with when deploying updates to hosts that don't support git, for example, a windows server we have RDC into:
--
And a pre-commit hook for linting PHP source code when I'm not in an IDE. Yes, this came around because of a few commits made without testing.
alias gdate=date\ +%Y.%m.%d-%H.%M.%S
gitzip () { zip -ruv "$(gdate).zip" $(git diff $@ --name-only); }

#!/bin/sh
exitStatus=0
for i in $(git diff --name-only --staged HEAD); do
[ "$VERBOSE" != "" ] && echo "Validating file $i"
echo "$i"| grep -q '.php$'
if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
[ "$VERBOSE" != "" ] && echo "... seems to be PHP, running php lint"
php -n -l "$i"| grep -q 'Errors parsing'
valid=$?
if [ $valid -eq 0 ]; then
echo "File $i is invalid."
exitStatus=1
fi

done
exit $exitStatusSpeaking of git-blame, I find putting the following function in my .bashrc extremely useful:
gblame()
{
find . -name $@ | xargs git blame
}For his first case rather then merging his feature branch into master he should instead merge his master branch into his feature one. Do this regularly if you can (without interrupting your feature development) then when it comes time to merge your feature branch into master it should be conflict free as you worked your conflicts when you pull master into the feature branch.
In the beginning, you mention that you use bash as your terminal. You might want to correct that.
git-bisect sounds really useful!
Now all we need is a script that we can run like this:
Now all we need is a script that we can run like this:
git-bisect-auto good-commit bad-commit test-command
git bisect run
It's built in [1]:
$ git bisect start <bad> <good>
$ git bisect run <script>
Similar in Mercurial. And Bazaar. And Darcs. And Monotone.
Not bazaar as far as I know. Not builtin anyway, and doesn't seem to be in macport's bzr extensions set.
In darcs, it's called `trackdown` and mandates usage of a test command, it cannot be used "interactively" (via $vcs bisect --good/$vcs bisect --bad the way git and mercurial can do it)

Yes. Its a plugin[1] for bzr.

Not built in, on the other hand, is 'bbchop', which is like bisect, but for intermittent bugs:

Awesome! This will come in really handy for me!
No mention of git-stash. It can save a lot of time, though perhaps not enough to make up someone's day. Nor of git-reflog, which was the command that I'd say came closest for me: early on when the function of the commands was alien to me, discovering git-reflog massively increased my confidence tinkering with git commands. Not even a mention of the -i option to rebase.
In short: if I could down-vote, I would. This comment is in lieu of that.
