1. + Git Workflow & Aliases Andrew Thal, Hungry Academy
2. + Workflow How to optimize frequent changes from many people
3. + Summary n  Workflow as taught by Tom Copeland n  Based off of “A Git Workflow for Agile Teams” n  Rein Henrichs n  Reinh.com
4. + How It Works my fork feature branch production master branch Remote Local pull pull request push create new/rebase
5. + In Practice n  Pull from production n  Checkout new branch n  Make / commit changes n  Commit early and often n  Rebase / Squash commits n  Push to your branch n  Pull request n  git pull origin master n  git checkout -b my-branch n  git add changed-file n  git commit –m “message” n  git fetch origin master n  git rebase –i origin/master n  git push my-fork my-branch Task Command(s)

11. + Committing Action Standard Alias Keystrokes Saved Commit w/ Message git commit –v -m gcm 13 Amend a Commit git commit –v --amend -m gca 21 Undo a Commit git revert HEAD gcu 12 Action Standard Alias Keystrokes Saved Commit w/ Message git commit –v -m gcm 13 Amend a Commit git commit –v --amend -m gca 21 Action Standard Alias Keystrokes Saved Commit w/ Message git commit –v -m gcm 13 Action Standard Alias base = gc Keystrokes Saved my fork feature branch production master branch Remote Local
12. + Moving Code Action Standard Alias Keystrokes Saved Pull git pull gl 6 Fetch git fetch gf 7 Rebase git rebase grb 7 Interactive Rebase git rebase -i grbi 9 Action Standard Alias Keystrokes Saved Pull git pull gl 6 Fetch git fetch gf 7 Rebase git rebase grb 7 Action Standard Alias Keystrokes Saved Pull git pull gl 6 Fetch git fetch gf 7 Action Standard Alias Keystrokes Saved Pull git pull gl 6 Action Standard Alias Keystrokes Saved Action Standard Alias Keystrokes Saved Pull git pull gl 6 Fetch git fetch gf 7 Rebase git rebase grb 7 Interactive Rebase git rebase -i grbi 9 Push git push gp 6 my fork feature branch production master branch Remote Local
13. + Git Aliases? n  ~/.gitconfig n  git_ (4 chars) n  git aliases only n  ~/.bash_profile n  g (1 char) n  compound aliases, all in one place git aliases bash aliases
14. + A Minimum Workflow 55 Keystrokes Saved vs. full commands 29 Keystrokes Saved vs. git aliases n  git pull origin master n  git checkout -b my-branch n  git add changed-file n  git commit –m “message” n  git fetch origin master n  git rebase -i origin/master n  git push my-fork my-branch n  git l origin master n  git co -b my-branch n  git a changed-file n  git ci –m “message” n  git f origin master n  git rb -i origin/master n  git p my-fork my-branch n  gl origin master n  gnb my-branch n  ga changed-file n  gcm “message” n  gf origin master n  grbi origin/master n  gp my-fork my-branch
15. + An “Average” Workflow 96 Keystrokes Saved vs. full commands 51 Keystrokes Saved vs. git aliases n  git pull origin master n  git checkout -b my-branch n  git add changed-file n  git commit –m “message” n  git add changed-file n  git commit –m “message” n  git log --all n  git checkout master n  git pull origin master n  git checkout my-branch n  git rebase -i origin/master n  git push my-fork my-branch n  git l origin master n  git co -b my-branch n  git a changed-file n  git ci –m “message” n  git a changed-file n  git ci –m “message” n  git log –all n  git co master n  git l origin master n  git co my-branch n  git rb -i origin/master n  git p my-fork my-branch n  gl origin master n  gnb my-branch n  ga changed-file n  gcm “message” n  ga changed-file n  gcm “message” n  gloa n  go master n  gl origin master n  go my-branch n  grbi origin/master n  gp my-fork my-branch
16. + Do the Math 96 Keystrokes / Avg 5 chars/word / Avg 40 WPM * 24 Hungry Academy Participants = 11.5 Minutes Saved in an Average Workflow > 2 Pomodoro Breaks
17. + Aliases For Anything Why not save keystrokes on any repeated task?
18. + alias deals='cd ~/Projects/deals' alias pipeline='cd ~/Projects/pipeline' alias canes="cane --style-glob '**/*.rb' --abc-glob '**/*.rb'" alias gd='git diff | e' alias bp='e ~/.bash_profile'
