Git Config

Posted on | In

When I started my first full-time software engineer job at Snowflake Computing, I felt that the speed of typing terminal commands is very annoying. Sometimes it took more than 2 seconds to finish the command. Finally I found the reason is that I was using zsh. Zsh has the git plugin and it will scan the dirty change after running each command. Snowflake Computing is using a big shared repository, so it is very expensive to scan the whole repo. The only thing I need to do is:

$ git config --global --add oh-my-zsh.hide-dirty 0
# --global is added for chaning the config for all git repos

Below is some personal shortcut of git usage. This may help save some time.
