GIT-INFO(1)

👑 git-info — bestie, let me read your repo's whole vibe

okay so it's GIT-INFO(1), it lives in the Git Extras collection, and it's literally just a little gossip-spiller for your current repo. No cap.

---

✨ NAME ✨

git-info — Returns information on current repository 💅

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

ngl bestie… there is nothing here. the synopsis is empty. you just run it, no flags required, no arguments to stress about. iconic behaviour honestly. 🎀

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

It shows the following info about a repository — like a little status report card for your repo's main character era:

1. Remote Url(s) 🌐
2. Remote Branches 🌳
3. Local Branches 🌿
4. Submodule(s) (if present) 🧩
5. Most recent commit 📝
6. Configuration Info ⚙️

---

✨ OPTIONS ✨

• -c, --color — use color for the information titles. yes bestie, make the headers pop. 🌈
• --no-config — don't show / don't list all variables set in the config file along with their values. like, skip that whole section, we're being mysterious today. 🙈

---

✨ GIT CONFIGS ✨

you can customize the Most recent commit and Configuration Info formats via git config options. it's giving "make it your own" 💖

$ git config --global --add git-extras.info.log "<log-command>"

the default log-command is "git log --max-count=1 --pretty=short"

$ git config --global --add git-extras.info.config-grep "<config-grep-command>"

the default config-grep-command is "git config --list"

For example,

to set global configuration to show last commit subject, without sha1 👇

$ git config --global --add git-extras.info.log "git log --max-count=1 --format=\"Author: %an%nDate:   %ad (%ar)%n%n    %s\" --date=format:\"%Y-%m-%d %a %H:%M\""

to set global configuration to show user's name and email 💌

$ git config --global --add git-extras.info.config-grep "git config --list | grep --color=never -E \"^user.name|^user.email\""

---
