The Ultimate "git nah" Alias

---



Recently, developer Liam Hammett shared a fabulous git nah snippet on Twitter that is better than your existing git nah alias 🔥



I know lots of people use a "nah" alias to abort their current changes, but they usually limit it to "git reset --hard".


I like to do more by cleaning and aborting any potential rebase. If I use the "nah" command, I know I want a fresh start, so this helps



He shared two versions, including setting it up as a git alias:
# Git alias ⬇️
[alias]
nah = "!f(){ git reset --hard; git clean -df; if [ -d ".git/rebase-apply" ] || [ -d ".git/rebase-merge" ]; then git rebase --abort; fi; }; f"



If you prefer a bash function instead, here's that version that you would add to your .bashrc or .zshrch file:
# Bash function ⬇️
nah () {
git reset --hard
git clean -df
if [ -d ".git/rebase-apply" ] || [ -d ".git/rebase-merge" ]; then
git rebase --abort
fi
}



Depending on which snippet you prefer, here's how you'd run it:
# Alias
$ git nah

# Bash
$ nah
