git-shortmaps provides very concise (mostly one- and two-character), user-configurable commands for Git with support for Bash tab completion.

shortmaps / Bash Completion

The bash_completion file contains Bash completion for custom commands and "shortmappings", which provide single-character aliases to common Git commands.

Setup

Source the bash_completion file (e.g. place in .bashrc or in /etc/bash_completion.d/ on Debian systems), with the path to the provided shortmaps file as the only argument:

$ . bash_completion ./shortmaps

You may also add your own mappings to ~/.git-shortmaps, which is sourced automatically and will take precedence over any other mappings.

Usage

By default, the following mappings are available, each with tab completion:

• a - git add
• A - git add -A
• AS - git add -A && git push
• b - git branch
• bd - git branch --delete
• bd- - delete branch @{-1}
• bv - git branch -v
• B - git bisect
• Bs - git bisect start
• Bg - git bisect good
• Bb - git bisect bad
• Br - git bisect reset
• c - git commit
• ca - git commit --amend
• co - git checkout
• C - git commit -am
• CS - git commit -S -am
• d - git diff
• ds - git diff --stat
• f - git fetch
• L - git log --show-signature
• Ld - git log --show-signature --decorate
• Lf - git log --show-signature --first-parent
• Lg - git log --show-signature --graph
• Lgd - git log --show-signature --graph --decorate
• Lm - git log --show-signature --merges
• Ln - git log --show-signature --no-merges
• m - git merge
• ma - git merge --abort
• mm - git merge --no-ff
• M - git submodule
• Mi - git submodule update --init --recursive
• Mu - git submodule update
• MP - git submodule update --remote
• p - git push
• pd- - delete remote branch @{-1} (default origin)
• pu - git push --set-upstream
• P - git pull
• Pr - git pull --rebase=preserve
• Prp - git pull --rebase=preserve && git push
• r - git reset
• r@ - git reset @
• r@:- git reset @ :/
• r@* - git reset @ *
• rh - git reset HEAD :/
• R - git rebase
• Ri - git rebase --interactive
• Ra - git rebase --abort
• Rc - git rebase --continue
• s - git status --short
• S - git stash
• Sa - git stash apply
• Sl - git stash list
• Sp - git stash pop
• Ss - git stash show
• t - execute tig
• T - git tag
• - - git checkout -
• -- - cd to root dir of repository
• ? - display all shortmaps

The shortmaps may only be used within a Git repository; otherwise, they will invoke the actual command on the system.

If a shortmap conflicts with an existing command on your system, then you may either unalias the map, or use command X to invoke the system command X.

Configuration

The file format is as follows:

• key completion :cmd
• key completion |cmd
• key completion cmd

If cmd contains a colon (:) prefix, the command will be prefixed with git. If prefixed with a pipe (|), the command will be sent to eval (needed for certain features like subshells). Commands without either prefix will be executed normally.
