Show last commit on `git status`
When I run git status
, I like to have the last commit message and SHA as well: it reminds me of what I just did and what I'm about to commit. Also, I like to alias git status
to git ls
(it does list stuff, after all).
Here's how it looks:
12:12pm passcod:~/pippo$ git ls
# HEAD: 31409c0 Simplify #set_documents; remove docid duplication
# On branch master
# Changes to be committed:
# (use "git reset HEAD <file>..." to unstage)
#
# new file: bin/.gitkeep
#
# Changes not staged for commit:
# (use "git add <file>..." to update what will be committed)
# (use "git checkout -- <file>..." to discard changes in working directory)
# (commit or discard the untracked or modified content in submodules)
#
# modified: docs (modified content)
# modified: server.rb
# modified: store.rb
# modified: transaction.rb
#
# Untracked files:
# (use "git add <file>..." to include in what will be committed)
#
# Makefile
# a.out
# bin/pippo-store
# store.c
# test/
And here's how it works:
[alias]
ls = "!cd ${GIT_PREFIX:-`pwd`}; printf \"# HEAD: \"; git log --oneline | head -n1; git status"
It will error out and print some garbage if you use it in a bare repo (duh!), a just-init'd repo (less obvious), or in detached branch mode (can be surprising). But otherwise it's great!
