git-templates

A collection of git hooks and aliases to be pulled into a global location for git to reference

The repository is quite old and I don't use the hooks anymore. Though the aliases are useful still.

The primary ones are:

• git ls - great for checking the commit history
• git undo - great to rollback to go back in time
• git amend - for those times you make a spelling mistake
• git alias - to see all aliases

Installation

git config --global include.path '/path/to/git-templates/.gitalias

Hooks

As stated previously, not using these. Git clients have improved much since the early days.
