Git

Configuration for Git.

Installation

Comes with macOS, but the bundled version is often outdated. Homebrew keeps it current:

brew install git

Files

• .gitconfig — main configuration
• .gitignore — global ignore patterns (*~, .DS_Store, tags, .vim/)

Notable settings

• Pager: diff-so-fancy (brew install diff-so-fancy)
• Editor: nvim
• Pull: fast-forward only
• Push: auto setup remote

Custom aliases

Alias	Description
graph	Pretty git log with graph and colors
submodule-add-ignore	Add a submodule and set ignore = all — keeps git status clean by hiding submodule changes
submodule-purge	Completely remove a submodule — automates the multi-step deinit/rm process
subdirs	Run a git command in all sub-directory repos — useful for bulk status checks or pulls
subdirs-p	Same as subdirs but in parallel — faster for slow operations like fetch
