aliases

All aliases are included by including the config.

git fpr: fetch-pull-request

Run git fpr 28 and it retrieves the PR #28 as the branch pr-28.

[alias]
    fpr = "!sh -c 'nr=\"$1\" ; shift ; git fetch upstream refs/pull/$nr/head:pr-$nr \"$@\"' -"

Credits: someone other than me created this but I don't remember who :/ I think I found it on an issue in the neovim repo.

pre-commit hook

This hook prevents the commit from completing if some restricted keywords are present in the commit text. The default keywords are XXX and PREVENT_COMMIT. You can also define your own keywords by setting the env var GIT_PREVENT_COMMIT to a comma-separated list of restricted keywords.

This is useful if you are in the flow and touching many different files. If you add some development code that shouldn't end up in your repository, simply add one of the keywords and you'll be sure to be notified if you try to commit it by error.
