@dotomaz/git-switch v1.1.1

Git-Switch

A CLI utility that makes it easy to switch between several local branches that you are working on

Overview

Are you constantly switching between several branches at the same time? It can become hard to keep track of the branch names as you switch between them. git-switch makes this easy. It parses the reflog for branches that you were working on and list them in a menu in CLI that you can navigate with your cursor keys. Then it automatically checks out the branch that you had selected.

Installation

You need to have nodejs and npm installed.

The easiest way is to use npx.

npx @dotomaz/git-switch

If you are using it frequently it might make sense to install it globally.

npm i -g @dotomaz/git-switch
git-switch

Usage

Just run the command inside a git repo.

git-switch --help

If you want to omit some branches, you can use the --exclude parameter.

git-switch --exclude=master,develop,release

You can also limit the number of branches that are returned.

git-switch --limit=5

To make your life easier you can create a alias. For instance in zsh you can put this at the end of your ~/.zshrc file.

alias gsw="npx @dotomaz/git-switch --exclude=master,develop,release --limit=5"
