From: Elena Petrashen Date: Fri, 18 Mar 2016 12:47:11 GMT Subject: [PATCH][Outreachy] branch: allow - as abbreviation of '@{-1}' Message-ID: <1458305231-2333-1-git-send-email-elena.petrashen@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Elena Petrashen --- Hi everyone, As my first Outreachy submission micropoject I’ve chosen to try to approach “Allow “-“ as a short-hand for “@{-1}” in more places.” (http://git.github.io/SoC-2016-Microprojects/ (Cf. $gmane/230828)) My goal was to teach git branch to accept - shortcut and interpret it as “previous working branch”, i.e $git branch -D - Really looking forward to hear what do you think, so please let me know if something is done incorrectly, etc. Thank you, Elena builtin/branch.c | 7 +++++++ 1 file changed, 7 insertions(+) diff --git a/builtin/branch.c b/builtin/branch.c index 7b45b6b..9d0f8a7 100644 --- a/builtin/branch.c +++ b/builtin/branch.c @@ -675,6 +675,13 @@ int cmd_branch(int argc, const char **argv, const char *prefix) argc = parse_options(argc, argv, prefix, options, builtin_branch_usage, 0); + int i; + for (i = 0; i < argc; i++) { + if (!strcmp(argv[i], "-")) { + argv[i] = "@{-1}"; + } + } + if (!delete && !rename && !edit_description && !new_upstream && !unset_upstream && argc == 0) list = 1; -- 1.9.1
