Some Useful Git Commands

Credential caching

Cache git credential (for 15 mins by default), so you don’t have to type in your username and password every time.
```
git config --global credential.helper cache
```
You can provide options via the credential.helper configuration variable (this example increases the cache time to 1 hour).
```
git config --global credential.helper 'cache --timeout=3600'
```
Git

Suggested by Jérôme Kunegis: “Don’t go home when svn st or git doesn’t return an empty string”. To get rid of the verbose git status command, simply add this piece of code to your .bashrc file, and use git instead of git status, since the original git almost gives you nothing.
```
git() {
    if [ $# -eq 0 ] ; then
        if [ -d ".git" ]; then
            git log --oneline origin/master..HEAD && git status -s
        else
            command git
        fi
    else
        command git "$@"
    fi
}
```
Unicode displaying

Use this command to let your git display Unicode characters correctly.
```
git config --global core.quotepath false
```
