Get some git aliases

Written around Jul 26, 2015 - tags: git

Here is my ~/.gitconfig for aliases - which could probably be improved.

[alias]
    d = diff -b
    br = branch -av
    st = status
    ls = log --pretty=format:"%C(yellow)%h%Cred%d\\ %Creset%s%Cblue\\ [%cn]" --decorate
    lg = log --graph --pretty=format:'%Cred%h%Creset -%C(yellow)%d%Creset %s %Cgreen(%cr) %C(bold blue)<%an>%Creset' --abbrev-commit
    pf = !git pull && git fetch --all -p
    sb = submodule update --init --recursive

Explanation

git d will show you the differences between files, without spaces.
git br will show you local and remote branches with last commit.
git st will show your current working state.
git ls will show a pretty log.
git lg will show a prettier log (including the date of commit).
git pf will pull from current branch and fetch everything, pruning.
git sb will update your submodules.

Dont forget you can also set the color in your terminal!
