The article uses, but does not describe pbcopy and pbpaste on os x.
Feed data to pbcopy, and it goes to the clipboard:
pwd | pbcopy # Copies the working directory to the clipboard
cd `pbpaste` # cd to the directory in the clipboard
For Rubyists who are using Mac, these are very handy in IRB:
# stick in .irbrc
def copy(str)
IO.popen('pbcopy', 'w') { |f| f << str.to_s }
end
def paste
`pbpaste`
end
def ep
eval(paste)
endI knew of pbcopy/pbpaste, but never thought of that. Great idea,

If you're running on Windows, Vista/W7 has `clip` as an equivalent to pbcopy. One project I was working on, the sysadmin didn't give us any access to the server, so we had to instruct him to use git each time an update went through (daily). `git rev-parse HEAD | clip` was the fastest way to get the "revision your tree should be at after pulling" then and send it to him.
Good lord, the CSS on this page made me think I needed to get new glasses.
Would be nice if those that needed 1.7+ were marked so.
But do note that instead of this:
You can do this:
It'll find a branch named "feature" in one of your remotes and make a local branch that tracks it.
