Commit Changes

Create a git commit for staged and unstaged changes using emoji commit format.

Emoji Commit Types

Use these prefixes based on the type of change:

Prefix	Usage
📦 NEW:	New features or additions
👍 IMPROVE:	Improvements to existing features
🐛 FIX:	Bug fixes
🚀 READY:	Ready for release/production
📖 DOCUMENT:	Documentation changes
🤖 TESTING:	Test-related changes
☣️ BREAKING:	Breaking changes

Instructions

1. Run these commands in parallel to understand the current state:

   • git status to see all changed files (never use -uall flag)
   • git diff to see unstaged changes
   • git diff --cached to see staged changes
   • git log --oneline -5 to see recent commit message style

2. If there are no changes to commit, inform the user and stop.

3. Stage appropriate files:

   • If the user provided specific files as arguments, stage only those
   • Otherwise, stage all changed files (excluding secrets like .env, credentials, etc.)

4. Draft a commit message:

   • Choose the appropriate emoji prefix from the table above
   • Most commits will be 👍 IMPROVE: for general improvements
   • Use 📦 NEW: for entirely new features
   • Use 🐛 FIX: for bug fixes
   • Be concise (a few words after the prefix)
   • If the user provided a message as an argument, use that with appropriate emoji prefix

5. Create the commit using a HEREDOC for proper formatting:

   git commit -m "$(cat <<'EOF'
   👍 IMPROVE: your message here
   
   Co-Authored-By: Claude <[e-mail]>
   EOF
   )"
   

6. Run git status after to confirm success.

7. If -p flag was provided, push to the current branch:

   git push origin <current-branch>
   

Argument Handling

• No arguments: Auto-detect changes, draft message based on diff
• -p flag: Push to current branch after committing (can combine with other args)
• Message argument (e.g., /commit fix login bug): Use provided message with 🐛 FIX: prefix
• File arguments (e.g., /commit src/app.js): Only stage specified files
• Combined (e.g., /commit -p fix login bug): Commit with message and push

Important

• Never push unless -p flag is provided or explicitly asked
• Never use git add -i or other interactive flags
• Warn about any files that look like secrets before staging
