Here are some Git utilities that you may find handy:

Git Up: Update all your branches with a single command (pretty neat!)
Git Sweep: Clean branches that have been merged into master.
Git Extras: Useful Git commands!
- undo, squash, fork, release, etc.
- Full List
- Also if using oh-my-zsh add the following plugins under your .zshrc file:
  - plugins=(git git-extras)

Please share yours!

Here’s some useful git aliases from oh-my-zsh. Wow, I never knew I could use ! in alias names, like ruby!

robbyrussell/oh-my-zsh/blob/master/plugins/git/git.plugin.zsh

# Query/use custom command for `git`.
zstyle -s ":vcs_info:git:*:-all-" "command" _omz_git_git_cmd
: ${_omz_git_git_cmd:=git}

#
# Functions
#

# The name of the current branch
# Back-compatibility wrapper for when this function was defined here in
# the plugin, before being pulled in to core lib/git.zsh as git_current_branch()
# to fix the core -> git plugin dependency.
function current_branch() {
  git_current_branch
}
# The list of remotes
function current_repository() {
  if ! $_omz_git_git_cmd rev-parse --is-inside-work-tree &> /dev/null; then
    return
  fi

Git-pairing: For sharing commit authorship when pairing

I looked into this a bit with @robwise and it seems that git will report a validation error when there are multiple authors.
