git review

on October 01, 2009 @ 01:15 AM

I’ve gotten into the habit of review code that comes down from every other developer, rather than blindly merging in. For a while I was typing “git log master..origin/master” but it became to tedious to type out. I’ve updated my .gitconfig to provide the following alias:

[alias]
  review = !"git log  master..origin/master" 

Now I can simply say:

git review

If you want to view actual code changes rather than simply the changelog just add the -p flag:

git review -p

A little nicer.
