A Human-Friendly Git Workflow

A Human-Friendly Git Workflow

Managing Git can be simpler and more intuitive with a streamlined workflow. Below is a guide to using a human-friendly Git toolkit to make common tasks easier and faster:

Key Commands

• Switch branches:
  git switch <branch>
  Quickly switch to another branch. Any unstaged changes are automatically stashed and restored afterward.

• Synchronize branches:
  git sync
  Brings the current branch up to date by automatically merging or rebasing changes from the remote repository. Handles stashing and unstashing as needed.

• Publish a branch:
  git publish <branch>
  Push your branch to the remote server, making it available to others.

• Unpublish a branch:
  git unpublish <branch>
  Remove a branch from the remote server.

• Harvest changes:
  git harvest <branch>
  Automatically merge or rebase commits from another branch into the current branch.

• Create a new branch:
  git sprout <branch>
  Start a new branch based on your current branch.

• Merge and clean up:
  git graft <branch>
  Merge an unpublished branch into your current branch and then delete it to keep things tidy.

• View branches:
  git branches
  Get a well-organized and readable list of all branches, including their publication status.
