  • Color git command line result

    Color git command line result

    On CentOS, when i run git commands like “git status” or “git diff”, the result is shown with out any color. On Ubuntu, git always show result in color.

    To make git result show in color, edit file

    vi ~/.gitconfig

    Add

    [color]
  diff = auto
  status = auto
  branch = auto
  interactive = auto
  ui = true
  pager = true

    Now git commands will show output with color.

  • Show git branch in terminal

    Show git branch in terminal

    When working with git, to avoid accidental commit to wrong branch, it will be better if terminal show the branch name you are currently in.

    show git branch in terminal

    To display “git branch” in terminal, edit .bashrc

    vi ~/.bashrc

    Add following code to end of the file.

    # Show git branch in command promt if git repo

show_git_branch() {
    git branch 2> /dev/null | sed -e '/^[^*]/d' -e 's/* \(.*\)/ (\1)/'
}

PS1='${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)}\[\033[01;32m\]\u@\h\[\033[00m\]:\[\033[01;34m\]\w\[\033[00m\]$(show_git_branch)\$ '

    You will need to restart terminal after making changes to ~/.bashrc file or run

    source ~/.bashrc

  • Auto push after git commit

    Git hook allow you to perform tasks when some changes happen on a git repository. To automatically push code when you make a commit, create hook file .git/hooks/post-commit

    vi .git/hooks/post-commit

    Add

    #!/bin/sh

git push origin master

    Thats all. Unlike normal bash scripts, git hooks don’t need 755 permission to run.

    Example

    [root@lin vshare]# cat .git/hooks/post-commit
#!/bin/sh

git push origin master
[root@lin vshare]# ls -l .git/hooks/post-commit
-rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 37 Apr 27 15:31 .git/hooks/post-commit
[root@lin vshare]#
