What are some of your favorite settings in Git configuration files to make Git Fun?
configuration, git, version-control
Solution
The aliases I mention in Trimming GIT Checkins (and the `fixup!` action from the recent Git1.7.0):
[alias]
fixup = !sh -c 'git commit -m \"fixup! $(git log -1 --format='\\''%s'\\'' $@)\"' -
squash = !sh -c 'git commit -m \"squash! $(git log -1 --format='\\''%s'\\'' $@)\"'
, really help me to commit very often even though I am in the middle of one task, allowing me to finish it with one coherent commit at the end (instead of too many small intermediate commits). Not exactly "fun", but very useful.
