Hello all,

One of the things I note about git is that is provides mostly low-level and strictly necessary commands.

Many highlevel commands are then implemented as alias by users, after a deep search on the internet.

Adding highlevel commands, even though it could be implemented by a simple alias, would put git in another level

of user experience and create a new standard for newbie users.

What git developers think about this?

I have, as many other users, an enormous .gitconfig. I paste here some highlevel commands of it, according to my judgement.

Mercurial provides many of these highlevel commands.

  root = rev-parse --show-toplevel

 upstream = !git for-each-ref --format='%(upstream:short)' $(git symbolic-ref -q HEAD)

 upstream-remote = !git upstream | sed -e 's/\\/.*$//g'

 out = !git fetch `git upstream-remote` && git l `git upstream`..HEAD

 in = pull --dry-run

 unmerged = !git ls-files --unmerged | cut -f2 | uniq


 untracked = ls-files --other --exclude-standard
 staged = ls-files --staged


 modified = ls-files --modified
 deleted = ls-files --deleted

  head = !git l -1

 current = rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD
