git deploy-branch

Creates a remote deploy branch for use with GitHub-style deploys.

For GitHub-style deploys, all work must branch off a deploy branch.

git review-branch

Creates a new local branch ensuring that it's not based off master. Such a branch is called a review branch.

All review branches should be based off a deploy branch.

git recursive-grep

Runs git grep recursively through submodules, showing file paths relative to cwd.

git find-reviewers

Find the best reviewer(s) for a given changeset. The idea is that if one user has modified all the lines you are editing, they are a good candidate to review your change.
