A few git tips you didn't know about

Inaccurate -- I wrote one of those. :)<p>But do note that instead of this:<p><pre><code> git checkout -t origin/feature </code></pre> You can do this:<p><pre><code> git checkout feature </code></pre> It'll find a branch named "feature" in one of your remotes and make a local branch that tracks it.

The article uses, but does not describe pbcopy and pbpaste on os x. Feed data to pbcopy, and it goes to the clipboard:<p><pre><code> pwd | pbcopy # Copies the working directory to the clipboard </code></pre> pbpaste outputs the clipboard contents:<p><pre><code> cd `pbpaste` # cd to the directory in the clipboard </code></pre> (I use this to go to the same dir in a second terminal) (There's Linux equivalent called, xsel does the same.)

Good lord, the CSS on this page made me think I needed to get new glasses.

Would be nice if those that needed 1.7+ were marked so.
