Switch Git Branches With fzf
I frequently switch between Git branches inside of Neovim using Telescope, but it’s also handy to be able to switch branches using fuzzy find when outside of Neovim.
So, a few lines of Bash later and I’m able to pass a list of Git branches through fzf and then switch to the branch that was selected. It will sort by latest commit so that recent branches are at the top and only local branches will be listed.
fn
#!/usr/bin/env bash
branches=$(git for-each-ref --sort=-committerdate --format="%(refname:short)" refs/heads/)
current=$(git symbolic-ref --short HEAD)
branch=$(echo "$branches" | grep -v "^$current$" | fzf +m)
if [[ -n "$branch" ]]; then
git co "$branch"
fi
