Thanks !
Your command:
git rev-parse --abbrev-ref --symbolic-full-name <branchname>@{u}
Works by replacing <branchname> with the current branch name or any local
branch name. (Does not seem to work with any remote branch name)
So far this limitation seems ok for now though if it could find any remote
branch name that would be cool too.
Example that should work on most people's repository:
git rev-parse --abbrev-ref --symbolic-full-name master@{u}
Question though:
Can this command be set up as an alias ? This would require to pass a
parameter somehow ?
The git documentation does not specify how to do that:
https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Git-Basics-Git-Aliases
All examples seem to assume the parameter is at the end of the command ?
I know in dos I could use %1, %2, %3 but I am not familiar with bash.
One final question:
I did not get the part about the need to use the remote command ?
Do you mean to find the URL ?
Or do you mean that you have multiple remotes setup with the same alias ?
like
origin url1
origin url2
?
I am not sure if it's possible to setup multiple remotes with the same
alias ? ;)
Or perhaps you mean that your command might return:
Git1 url
Git2 url
Git3 url
If there are multiple remotes with partially the same name ?
Bye,
Skybuck.
