# Download this script as "git-recent" (no extension), chmod it to be executable and put it in your | |
# path somewhere (e.g. /usr/bin). You can then use it via `git recent` from inside any git repo. | |
# Examples: | |
# Interactive prompt for most recent 4 branches: | |
# $ git recent -n 5 | |
# 1) master 4) deleted-branch | |
# 2) stable 5) improve-everything | |
# 3) fun | |
# Choose a branch: 2 | |
# List mode (non-interactive): | |
# $ git recent -n 5 -l | |
# master | |
# stable | |
# fun | |
# deleted-branch | |
# improve-everything | |
# Verify branch existence: | |
# $ git recent -n 5 -l -e | |
# master | |
# stable | |
# fun | |
# improve-everything | |
# something-else | |
# # (notice "deleted-branch" removed from results) | |
