Simpler and without all of the coloring gimmicks. This just returns a list of branches with the most recent first. This should be useful for cleaning your remotes.

Git uses secure hash sums for its revision numbers. I'm sure this is fine and dandy for ultra-secure computing, but it's less than optimal for humans. Thus, this will give you sequential revision numbers in Git all the way from the first commit.

If you don't have html2text

This fixes a bug found in the other scripts which fail when a branch has the same name as a file or directory in the current directory.

Great way to quickly grasp if a locally cloned repository originates from e.g. github or elsewhere.

attempts to delete all local branches. git will fail on any branches not fully merged into local master, so don't worry about losing work. git will return the names of any successfully deleted branches. Find those in the output with grep, then push null repositories to the corresponding names to your target remote.

assumes:

- your local and remote branches are identically named, and there's nothing extra in the remote branch that you still want

- EDIT: you want to keep your local master branch

-u tells git to automatically stage all changes to files in the index (eg. deleted and modified files).

Make sure to run this command in your git toplevel directory. Modify `-j4` as you like. You can also run any arbitrary command beside `git pull` in parallel on all of your git submodules.

Similar, but uses tarball instead of zip file

This will delete the branch 'featureless' on the origin remote.

Do not forget to delete the branch locally using:

git branch -d featureless

I duplicated here incase you stumbled here first.

Fetch comical VC commit messages from whatthecommit.com

Requires html2text. Print bad, but often funny commit messages from whatthecommit.com

Fetch comical VC commit messages from whatthecommit.com

usage:

where COMMIT

for instance:

where 1178c5950d321a8c5cd8294cd67535157e296554

where HEAD~5

Parse the output of git status.

Once the line '# Changed but not updated:' has passed print every last part of the line if it exists on disk.

It would be good if anyone can shorten this to eliminate the duplicate query string.

git log --format=%H | tail -1 doesn't work anymore

Can anyone make a shorter one?

This doesn't work:

Gets the authors, sorts by number of commits (as a vague way of estimating how much of the project is their work, i.e. the higher in the list, the more they've done) and then outputs the results.
