# Just a couple of commands i use on a daily basis.
# GIT IGNORE: https://www.atlassian.com/git/tutorials/saving-changes/gitignore

#========================================
# INITIAL SETUP
#========================================

git config --global user.email "xxx@gmail.com"
git config --global user.name "Mike Dev-VM"
# configure git to follow tags
git config --global push.followTags true
# push default current branch to remote origin
git config --global push.default current





# Most of the time  you need to add/commit/push - for that I use the following linux bash alias:

#==================================================
# BASH UTILS
# ADD-COMMIT-PUSH ALIAS: 
# USAGE:  lazygit  my commit text
#==================================================
__git_branch='`git branch 2> /dev/null | grep -e ^* | sed -E  s/^\\\\\*\ \(.+\)$/\(\\\\\1\)\ /`'
export PS1="\[$red\]\u\[$blue\]@\h\[$cyan\] \w \[$red\]$__git_branch\[$red\]#\[$none\] "

function lazygit() {
  git add -A
  git commit -a -m "$*"
  git push
}

#========================================
# GIT PULL the latest changes
#========================================
# ignore any local changes and pull from remote
# this is useful when on a dev/uat/test server you need to pull the latest code
git reset --hard && git pull



#========================================
# GIT BRANCH
#========================================

# show local branches
git branch 
# show all branches
git branch -a
# switch to another branch 
git checkout  <your_existing_branch>
# create a new branch (from current) and switch to it
git checkout -b <your_new_branch>

# delete a LOCAL branch
git branch -d hotfix
# delete a REMOTE branch
git push origin --delete <remote_branch>



#========================================
# GIT MERGE
#========================================
# if you want to get the code from branch dev into branch master:
git checkout master   # switch to master branch
git merge dev         # merge dev into master



#========================================
# GIT TAGS
#========================================

# CLONE A SPECIFIC TAG
# depth 1 means you don't want all the commit history, only current stuff
git clone --depth 1 --branch <tag_name> <repo_url>

# REMOVE A TAG locally and remote 
git push --delete origin myTag
git tag -d myTag

# VIEW TAGS
git tag

# ADD A TAG  (v1.2) - LOCALLY
git tag v1.2

# PUSH TAG to origin - REMOTE
git push origin v1.2
