Git Checkout Enhancement
If you are a Git power user, then you are often switching between two branches. Wouldn’t it be convenient for a single command to go back to the previous Git branch that we were on previously?
Well, now you can. I created a simple wrapper script, called co.pl, that basically runs "git checkout". If you use the "-old" argument, then the command will change your branch to the previous branch. Otherwise, all other arguments are passed to "git checkout".
Here is the usage:
USAGE: co.pl <argument1> <argument2> <argument3> <argument4> This will run "git checkout .." with all passed in arguments while saving the previous branch name. USAGE: co.pl -old This will run "git checkout <previously saved branch>". |
