git tips

git.sh

# extract a distributable archive, with changed files only (archive name derived from directory name and date):
alias git-diff="git diff --name-only HEAD^1 HEAD | zip ../${PWD##*/}-`date +%Y%m%d`-diff.zip -@"

# archive the current state:
alias git-archive="git archive --format=zip HEAD >../${PWD##*/}-`date +%Y%m%d`.zip"

# silence annoying CLRF warnings with:
git config --global core.autocrlf false

# remember credentials
git config --global credential.helper store

# ignore files for an export or archive with .gitattributes:
.gitattributes export-ignore  
.gitignore export-ignore
