BranchFixer

BranchFixer – fix the mess with master/main git branches.

Do you have multiple repositories with a master and main branches? Do you regularly forget which branch is the "main" in current repo? Well, BranchFixer fixes that!

This tool integrates with .bashrc/.zshrc and keeps track of some git subcommands that require a branch name (switch, checkout, merge, rebase, log are now supported).

If you mistype the branch name, BranchFixer will try to correct the command. For example: You type git switch main, but the main branch does not exist in the current repo – BranchFixer will correct the branch name to master. Thus, git switch master will be executed instead of git switch main.

There are several ways to integrate BranchFixer into your favorite shell:

zsh

or simply paste the content of z.sh or ba.sh into your .zshrc/.bashrc file
