Many highlevel commands are then implemented as alias by users, after a deep search on the internet. Adding highlevel commands, even though it could be implemented by a simple alias, would put git in another level of user experience and create a new standard for newbie users. What git developers think about this? I have, as many other users, an enormous .gitconfig. I paste here some highlevel commands of it, according to my judgement. Mercurial provides many of these highlevel commands. root = rev-parse --show-toplevel upstream = !git for-each-ref --format='%(upstream:short)' $(git symbolic-ref -q HEAD) upstream-remote = !git upstream | sed -e 's/\\/.*$//g' out = !git fetch `git upstream-remote` && git l `git upstream`..HEAD in = pull --dry-run unmerged = !git ls-files --unmerged | cut -f2 | uniq untracked = ls-files --other --exclude-standard staged = ls-files --staged modified = ls-files --modified deleted = ls-files --deleted head = !git l -1 current = rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD Source: https://github.com/brauliobo/gitconfig/blob/master/configs/.gitconfig regards, bráulio -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Git for human beings" group.
