Egosurfing with git
The following shell function may be a useful snippet for the ~/.bashrc of other incredibly vane bastards who spend a lot of time browsing their own contributions to a git repository:
egosurf() {
git branch > /dev/null 2>&1 || {
echo 'not a git repository!' >&2;
return 1;
}
test -f ~/.gitconfig || {
echo 'no git config file found' >&2
return 2
}
local whoami=`grep '^\s*name\s*=' ~/.gitconfig \
| sed -r 's/^\s*name\s*=\s*//'`
test -n "$whoami" || { echo 'who am i?' >&2;
return 3; }
git log --author="$whoami" $@
}
