My favorite Git alias

By Ozh Short URL: https://ozh.in/10h

My favorite git alias: gcm to git checkout main|master, fetch, and pull

# checkout to default branch
gcm() {
    git fetch && git checkout $(git remote show origin | sed -n '/HEAD branch/s/.*: //p')
}

(Put this in your .bashrc or something)
