bash Development Tools for development productivity

Goals

Develop a suite of scripts for development productivity and ease the initial development setup to a one run config.

Install

Run command line ./install.sh.

Will create a symbolic link in your home and append a command to your bash profile. (Does not support zsh, yet)

Features

• Git commands
  • git cleanup - Clean up unreachable branches in origin remote
  • git rebase-latest [branch] - Rebase current branch with latest master (default) or any branch passed as an argument
  • git merge-latest [branch] - Merge current branch with latest master (default) or any branch passed as an argument
  • git upush - Push branch to upstream with the same name in local repo
  • git xlog - Extended git log, shows: all branches, decorated, commit per one line, with ascii graph.
• Local Postgres setup

Git Aliases Usage

rebase-latest

Rebase your current branch onto the latest version of a target branch. The target branch is updated with the latest changes before rebasing.

# Rebase onto latest master (default)
git rebase-latest

# Rebase onto latest develop
git rebase-latest develop

# Rebase onto latest main
git rebase-latest main

merge-latest

Merge the latest version of a target branch into your current branch. The target branch is updated with the latest changes before merging.

# Merge latest master into current branch (default)
git merge-latest

# Merge latest develop into current branch
git merge-latest develop

# Merge latest main into current branch
git merge-latest main

Safety Features

Both rebase-latest and merge-latest include safety checks:

• If you're already on the target branch, the command will exit gracefully with a helpful message
• The target branch is always updated with the latest changes before the operation
