Useful additional Git commands

Description

This repository hosts a collection of miscellaneous extra Git commands (in the form of scripts building mostly on top of Git plumbing commands) that have proved useful.

Installation

Those scripts are supposed to be made available to your local Git installation (either by copying them in a location on the PATH or by defining Git aliases) in order to act as invokable custom Git commands.

Commands

git-disseminate

Usage: git disseminate [A...B]

Finds all non-merged commits in A but not in B (that have not been cherry-picked from B, looking for at most 1,000 commits) that contains !disseminate! in their commit message, and cherry-picks them to the current branch.

The !disseminate! tag does not need to be at the beginning of a new line and can appear anywhere in the commit message body (as well as in the subject).

When git disseminate is called with no arguments, A defaults to master and B to the current branch.

git-gc-all-ferocious

Usage: git gc-all-ferocious

Performs a very aggressive GC! Beware of data loss!
