bin/git-branch-dates: Smarter automatic line truncation
[dotfiles.git] / bin / git-track
1 #!/bin/sh
2 ## Usage: git track
3 ## git track <branch>
4 ## Point the current local branch at <branch> for the purpose
5 ## of merge tracking, pull, and status features. With no <branch>,
6 ## write the currently tracked branch to standard output.
7 ##
8 ## If you have git's bash-completion support enabled, add this:
9 ## complete -o default -o nospace -F _git_checkout git-track
