Quickly switching between branches, stashing and unstaging your last changes

lazy-git-checkout

Small program for quickly switching between branches, stashing and unstaging your last changes.

Changing branches with lgc is similar to doing:

git stash -m $CUR_BRANCH
git checkout $NEXT_BRANCH
git stash pop $LAST_NEXT_BRANCH_STASH_REF

but with hopefully fewer keystrokes.

It also allows you to track your most used branches to avoid any git branch | grep ...
