Supercharge Git with fzf
Working with Git branches can be annoying, especially with long names or when cleaning up old ones. Try fzf, a tool that makes managing branches easy.
Switch branches
Use fzf to select and switch branches interactively:
git branch | fzf --preview 'git log -p main..{-1} --color=always {-1}' | cut -c 3- | xargs git switch
Delete branches
Delete branch interactively with fzf:
git branch | fzf -m --preview 'git log -p main..{-1} --color=always {-1}' | cut -c 3- | xargs git branch -d
I setup them in my shell config to save time:
alias gs="git switch"
alias gsc="git witch -c"
alias gsi="git branch | fzf --preview 'git log -p main..{-1} --color=always {-1}' | cut -c 3- | xargs git switch"
alias gbd="git branch | fzf -m --preview 'git log -p main..{-1} --color=always {-1}' | cut -c 3- | xargs git branch -d"
