cop
Check out a branch by a partial branch name. This function searches for branches containing the provided pattern and checks out the first match.
I name branches with a reference to a work item number, then use the work item number to checkout the right branch. For example, the branch might be called feature/12345-updated-invoice-structure and I can check it out with git cop 12345 or git cop invoice.
