gh-commit-and-push

name	gh-commit-and-push
description	Pull latest changes from origin, stage new and modified files, inspect diffs, generate a detailed commit message, commit to the current or specified branch, and push to origin. Use when the user asks to quickly commit and push local changes (optionally to a specified branch), or needs a repeatable git workflow for pull + add + inspect + commit + push.

Gh Commit And Push

Overview

Automate a safe, repeatable git workflow that syncs with origin, stages changes, summarizes diffs, generates a detailed commit message, commits, and pushes.

Workflow

1. Choose the target branch.

• If a branch name is provided, switch to it (create locally from origin if needed) and use it for commit and push.
• Otherwise, use the current branch.

2. Pull from origin with fast-forward only.

• Fetch from origin.
• Pull origin/<branch> with --ff-only to avoid accidental merges.

3. Stage and inspect changes.

• Stage new and modified files with git add -A.
• Inspect git status --short and git diff --cached --stat.

4. Generate a detailed commit message and commit.

• Title: concise summary (include file count or key files).
• Body: bullet list of changed files plus diff stats.
• Commit with the generated message.

5. Push to origin.

• Push the target branch to origin.

Quick Command

Use the script for a one-shot workflow:

scripts/gh_commit_and_push.sh [branch]

• If [branch] is provided, the script will checkout or create it, pull from origin, commit there, and push to origin/<branch>.
• If omitted, it uses the current branch.

Notes

• If there are no staged changes after git add -A, exit without committing.
• Always show git status --short and git diff --cached --stat before committing to ensure the commit message matches the actual changes.
