git shortcut—save to master and amend

Sometimes you just want to save current work on master no matter on whatever branch you are in. And if you are on some branch—delete it, after saving everything to master. Here how I did it.

save() # save to master and amend
{
    current_branch=$(git symbolic-ref --short HEAD)

    if [ "$current_branch" = "master" ]; then
        # if we are on master branch, save everything and return
        git add .
        git commit --amend --no-edit
        return 0
    fi

    # otherwise, save everything from current branch to master
    git stash
    git checkout master
    git stash pop
    git add .
    git commit --amend --no-edit

    # and delete current branch
    git branch -D $current_branch
}
