Git comment char

When git is integrated with an issue tracker that can link commit to a particular issue '#' - hash sign sometimes is used to provide issue number (for example #1234). But at the same time hash sign is used as a comment symbols in git rebase change commit message. So, comment is ignored. To overcome this it is possible to change default comment char in git locally:

git config core.commentchar ";"

git alias to pull forward only

 Simple git alias that does pull --ff-only. It is possible to configure git pull to do --ff-only by default - https://blog.sffc.xyz/post/185195398930/why-you-should-use-git-pull-ff-only-git-is-a
but I prefer to have default settings for commands to have fine-grained control over the operations.

Open .gitconfig (usually it is in c:/users/YOUR-USER/.gitconfig) and add an alias:

[alias]
up = !git pull --ff-only

git alias to pull another branch and checkout it

 Open .gitconfig (usually it is in c:/users/YOUR-USER/.gitconfig) and add an alias:

[alias]
cb = !git fetch origin $1:$1 && git checkout

Then instead of doing

> git checkout master
> git pull

You can do 

> git cb master

And avoid double changes that cause reload in IDE.
