some options & shortcuts to make git branch management simple and sane

Run these once to setup git options:

git config --global push.default current
git config --global merge.defaultToUpstream true
git config --global branch.autosetupmerge true
git config --global branch.autosetuprebase remote
git config --global alias.cb 'checkout -b'
git config --global alias.ps 'push -u'
git config --global alias.pl '!git fetch -p && git rebase'

Use them like this:

Last active December 19, 2015 06:59
multi-stage deploy using git rebase -i
# x (or exec) will run anything on the same line as a shell command.
# we need to checkout a temporary branch because git won't push detached HEADs.
# after deploy, the "checkout -" means checkout the previously checked out thing,
# which will go back to our detached head and we clean up the temporary branch so
# that we don't need to worry about merging.
# if your branch is already based on the same point as your rebase command, then
# the 'pick' stage is essentially the same as a fast-forward merge; no new commits
# are created.
