Get Git Branches Checked Out on a Date
I don't use any type of git UI -- I try to be hardcore and stick to the command line. This makes git usage quicker but I also probably miss out on a lot of the functionality that would be nice to know. The functionality is there, of course, but without a nice icon or menu item you don't really think about it.
I was browsing CommandLineFu and found a nice git snippet which provides you a listing of branches checked out on a given date:
git reflog --date=local | grep "Sep 10 .* checkout: moving from .* to" | grep -o "[a-zA-Z0-9\-]*$" | sort | uniq
I love this snippet because I often forget recently created branch names (...grow up and delete old branches, David!), especially when leaving work for the weekend. Handy!

![MooTools Accordion: Mouseover Style]()
Everyone loves the MooTools Accordion plugin but I get a lot of requests from readers asking me how to make each accordion item open when the user hovers over the item instead of making the user click. You have two options: hack the original plugin...
That was really helpful. I created a script “branches by date” to make it easier to use, I hope that someone will find it useful. https://gist.github.com/ahmedelgabri/2684c4578c3fe5990c5a
