I built this terribly-written alias because I wanted to see a list of
branches by date of commit. The output looks like this:
$ git bbd
11 months ago pipette_editor
7 weeks ago ensure-ie-rendering-edge
6 weeks ago strings-yml
5 weeks ago message-when-validation-fails
4 weeks ago new-parsers
11 days ago tax
8 hours ago search
7 hours ago browse
16 minutes ago master
8 seconds ago org-read
And the alias, in all its glory:
[alias]
bbd = "!export head=$(git symbolic-ref HEAD); git for-each-ref
--sort=committerdate --format 'color=$(if [[ %(refname) = $head ]];
then printf \"\\e[32m\"; fi); printf \"\\e[01;30m%%15s\\e(B\\e[m
%%s%%s\\n\" %(committerdate:relative) $color %(refname:short)'
refs/heads/ --shell | sh"
I write this missive with dual purpose: firstly to share a potentially
useful tool, and secondly to suggest that this feature (with a less
mind-wrenchingly disgusting implementation) might be included in
mainline git, as for example `git branch [-t] | [--by-time]`.
Until the ocean swallows us all,
