Git Fuzzy Checkout

Checks out a branch by searching the branch name.

Install

npm install -g git-fuzzy-checkout

This is a shell script

Yes, that's right. This is a simple /bin/sh script.

Yes, I'm using NPM to distribute it. Hey, they've always claimed that they're not a Node package manager. NPM is simply the easiest way for me to distribute software.

Usage:

checkout some branch name

or

co some branch name

Will search for branches that match some.*branch.*name so the word order is significant. If only one branch is found it will check out that branch otherwise it will dump all matching branches.
