Very basic scripts for newbies

[ninetydegrees]

I have two scripts I use all the time and which have saved me much grief and hair pulling. I was told there were worth sharing so here I am doing just that. :)

The first one just checks which branch you're on both in dw-free and nonfree (it's basically git branch with a bow):

#!/bin/bash
echo "..."
echo "dw-free"
echo "..."
cd $LJHOME
git branch

echo "..."
echo "dw-nonfree"
echo "..."
cd $LJHOME/ext/dw-nonfree
git branch


See? There's nothing particularly smart about this but I run it every time I start working on something. This goes into ####-USERNAME/bin on your hack and is made executable with chmod ugo+x ~/bin/SCRIPTNAME

The second one just checkouts develop for me on both branches and brings me back to /dw. See alierak's comment for an actual working way of doing this. :)

You can of course modify them to better fit your workflow or use Jeshyr's omnibus script instead. If you have interesting scripts, do share them in the comments please!

Thank you for the very detailed and clear explanation and my apologies for the late reply. I've fixed things on my end and edited the entry so as not to mislead anybody else. :)
