stop

workflow

Reverts all unstaged changes to tracked files, and delete all untracked files and directories. Intended usage is when stopping a project where configuration changes are stored in a stash. When we stop the application, we want to revert the unstaged changes (which we are expecting to just be the configuration changes) so we have a clean working directory.

Usage: git stop

CLI Command

git config --global alias.stop "!git checkout -- . && git clean -fd"

.gitconfig Snippet
