Summary
Override cd command to automate garbage collection on your git repositories.Most developers using git are probably aware of a command git gc that has to be run from time to time when you notice
your git commands are running a little slow. This command cleans up your git repo and makes sure everything is nice and
tidy. If you have not run this command lately, you will notice a huge performance increase in your git commands after
running. It’s a bit annoying to have to run this command when you notice that your git performance is suffering. The
command also takes a while if you have not run it recently. With this in mind, I decided to create a method to
automatically run this command from time to time. So I decided to overload cd similar to how rvm does. All you have to
do is paste the method in your .profile file and it will run the command every time you enter a directory with a git
repo.
Here it is in all it’s glory.
