How to use bash commands for .gitconfig aliases
I am using a command git ls-tree -r $(git branch | awk '{ print $2 }') --name-only
to display files in my branch, but I tried to put this command in my file .gitconfig
as an alias and I got this error:
$ git list fatal: Not a valid object name $ (git
My .gitconfig file:
[alias]
list = ls-tree -r $ (git branch | awk '{print $ 2}') --name-only
Thanks Police Department Sorry for my english

As noted in the comments, you must prefix your alias with an exclamation point ( !
).
The following post works for me
[alias]
list = !git ls-tree -r $(git branch | awk '{ print $2 }') --name-only
EDIT
Alternatively, following this answer, you can create a file git-list
anywhere in yours PATH
as shown below:
git -list
git ls-tree -r $(git branch | awk '{ print $2 }') --name-only
then change its execute permission with chmod +x git-list
and you can use the command git list
in any directory.
