Global git settings

This is probably the first thing that needs to be customized, since it points to a different identity for each git user.

Basic git command aliases

This module contains a heap of aliases to every-day git commands. Most of them follow a two-to-three letter combination of things to do which corresponds to the mnemonic of the longer git command. As such, they are mostly similar to those found in the Oh My Zsh git plugin Examples of some common aliases are alias ga=git add, alias gst=git status, alias gp=git push, alias gl=git pull.

Gitignore generation script

Adds a gitignore script which pulls relevant .gitignore lines from gitignore.io and sends them to standard out, or creates a .gitignore file in the current directory.

To show usage of the script run gitignore -h. It is fully equipped with zsh auto completions, which will pull a list of all available ignore modules from the website to complete with.

It can alternatively be run through git itself by invoking git ignore, which will always generate a .gitignore file in the current directory.

When fzf is installed invoke the script without any arguments to generate a fzf-searchable list of git definitions to create. Select multiple definitions with .
