Day-to-day helpers when interacting with git.
A build tag blends the best of both worlds of subversion and git. It's a sequential revision number and a corresponding commit hash.
$ git buildtag
3-ea1a022
This is really useful in cases where you need to uniquely identify versions but also compare them with previously released versions. It provides a unique identifier for a build but with built-in features for humans. The revision number affords comparision between builds, specifically when comparing older against newer. The hash provides a direct link back to the exact commit which points to the build.
Cleanup wipes out local branches which are already merged into the current HEAD.
$ git cleanup
Deleted branch mgirouard/it-works (was ea1a022).
Cleanup assumes that staging and masterare special and won't ever delete
them. It also won't delete the currently active branch.
Note: this only works for local branches. This is less of a problem with graphical merge tools like Bitbucket or GitHub where you can opt-in to having the topic branch removed after a successful merge.
Last touched files are files which were affected during the last commit.
$ git last-touched
git-versions
Versions assumes semver tags and orders them accordingly.
$ git versions
