git drb <branchname> = Delete branch from remote origin
	- branchname defaults to currently active local branch name

git pf     = Push --force-with-lease
git please = Push --force-with-lease

git branch-delete-merged = Delete local branches already
	merged into current branch

git branch-clean = Remove both:

git current-branch = Get the name of the current branch.

git move <branchname> [<number of commits>]
	= Move the most recent commit(s) to the branch "branchname"

		- "number of commits" we are moving is optional and defaults to 1

git cfixup <commit> = commit --fixup <commit>

git csquash <commit> = commit --squash <commit>


git track-origin-same-branch-name = !git branch --set-upstream-to=origin/`git symbolic-ref --short HEAD`
	- sets current branch tracking to origin/<name-of-current-branch>

git delete-merged-on-origin = !git branch --all --merged remotes/origin/master | grep --invert-match master | grep --invert-match HEAD | grep "remotes/origin/" | cut -d "/" -f 3- | xargs -n 1 git push --delete origin
	- delete all branches on remote "origin" that have been merged into "origin/master"

git delete-remote-tracking-branch <local branch> = !git push $trackingRemote --delete $trackingBranch;
	- delete the remote tracking branch that corresponds to the given local branch
	- <local branch> defaults to the current branch

# Check if a fast-forward merge is possible
# like a dry run for git merge --ff-only <branchName>

# Open the default web browser to the GitHub URL
# to create a Pull Request (PR) for the current branch
# into the "target" branch (or into the default

Included Components

• Effortless Ctags git hooks by Tim Pope

Git project template

The sub-directory git_template acts as a template when creating or cloning a repo.

Exuberant Ctags*

This is an optional feature for advanced users who want to use Exuberant Ctags. If your editor/IDE uses ctags for integration across files in a project, this will regenerate ctags after commits, merges, and checkouts. Users who are not interested in these features can ignore this section. The scripting in these hooks fails silently if Exuberant Ctags is not installed. This is based on Tim Pope's work Effortless Ctags with Git

Installation Notes

• Installation modifies your ~/.gitconfig to use the included template directory when initializing or cloning a repository

Uninstall

• Edit ~/gitconfig in your home directory and remove the line
  templatedir = ~/ironcode-git-enhancements/git_template
• At this point, the modifications are uninstalled and optionally you can delete the directory and contents ~/ironcode-git-enhancements
