Giving back to git

It must be obvious from previous posts that I love git. Tonight I sent a patch to the mailing list. It’s small and simple; it lets you save options for cvsimport in your config file, rather than supplying them each time you run it. Hopefully it will be of use to others. »

My .gitconfig

**Update: **I’ve posted a revised version of my .gitconfig here. By default, git does not include aliases for commands. For instance, ‘git status’ works but ‘git st’ does not. This will hurt your noggin if you are used to using cvs or svn. Also, the internet is for posting config files on. So here are the contents of my .gitconfig: [user] name = James Bowes email = MY_EMAIL [alias] ci = commit -a co = checkout st = status -a praise = blame [apply] whitespace = strip [diff] color = auto rename = copy [pager] color = true [status] color = auto Just drop that into ~/.gitconfig and you’re all set. »
