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.

Simplify folder navigation in windows terminal powershell

Open settings json file in windows terminal (ctrl+shift+,), find "actions" json array, add two commands (don't forget about preceding coma):

        {

            "command":

            {

                "action": "sendInput",

                "input": "cd ..\r"

            },

            "keys": "alt+up"

        },

        {

            "command":

            {

                "action": "sendInput",

                "input": "cd \u0000"

            },

            "keys": "alt+down"

        }

From now on pressing Alt+Up will go one level up (like in Windows Explorer) and pressing Alt+Down will bring powershell hint for switching the directory:

The trick here is to use \u0000 which is a terminal equivalent of pressing Ctrl+Space. It is applicable only to powershell, since there is no directory browsing feature in a regular cmd.
