Ask HN: Which tools have made you a much better programmer?

Re:Ask HN: Which tools have made you a much better programmer? by elwell on Tuesday June 09, 2020 @03:48PM (#23470132)

Here's mine:

    alias g="git"
    __git_complete g _git # enable git autocompletion (braches, etc.)
    alias gc="git commit -am"
    alias gp="git push"
    __git_complete gp _git_checkout # checkout is more useful than _git_push because it autocompletes the branch
    alias ga="git add -A"
    alias gd="git diff"
    alias gb="git branch"
    alias gx="git checkout"
    __git_complete gx _git_checkout
    alias gs="git status"
    alias gl="git log"

Good collection! I have many of these, plus a slightly longer one for quick fixups that happen all too often:

    alias gcane="git commit --amend --no-edit"

probably you will like

  function fixup() {
    git commit --fixup=$1
  }
  function refixup() {
    git rebase -i --autosquash --autostash $1^1
  }
