gitutils

submodule-hooks

• pre-commit -- Check whether any submodule is about to be updated with the commit. Ask the user for confirmation. To use, copy to $GIT_DIR/hooks/ and make it executable.

• post-merge-checkout -- Check if any submodule has been updated post git-merge (git-pull) or a branch checkout. If so, ask if user wants to run git-submodule update. To use, copy to $GIT_DIR/hooks/post-checkout and/or $GIT_DIR/hooks/post-merge and make them executable.

There's an install script inside the submodule-hooks directory (install.sh); you can use this script to install submodule-hooks in your git working directory.

git-track-remote

Sets up an existing branch to track a remote branch.

Usage:

git track-remote origin/branch
git track-remote branch origin/branch

Runs the following git-config commands:

git config branch.$local_branch.remote $remote_repo
git config branch.$local_branch.remote refs/heads/$remote_branch

git-new

git-new will display a (git) log of all commits which are in the remote tracking branch but not in the local branch. All options are passed to git-log. Most useful after a git fetch.

Usage:

git new
git new --oneline
git new -p

Note: You need to add this file and ./new-revs to your $PATH for it to work.
