Git Commit and Push

Commit and push changes to the remote repository. Shows diff for approval before committing.

Purpose

Safely commit and push all staged and unstaged changes to the remote repository. Presents changes for review before committing to prevent accidental commits.

State Dependencies

Source	Location	Read	Write	Description
Git status	.git/	X		Current repo state
Working directory	./	X		Modified files
Remote repository	origin		X	Push destination

Prerequisites

• Git repository initialized
• Remote origin configured
• Changes to commit (untracked or modified files)

Process

Step 1: Check Repository State

# Show current branch
git branch --show-current

# Check if there are changes to commit
git status --short

If no changes, inform user and exit.

Step 2: Review Changes (APPROVAL GATE)

Present the changes for review:

# Show summary of changes
git status

# Show detailed diff of modified files (not untracked)
git diff

# Show staged changes if any
git diff --cached

Ask user:

1. Show the list of files that will be committed
2. Ask for commit message (suggest based on changes)
3. Confirm before proceeding

Use AskUserQuestion with options:

• "Commit all changes" (Recommended)
• "Select specific files"
• "Cancel"

Step 3: Stage and Commit

Based on user choice:

If "Commit all changes":

# Stage all changes
git add -A

# Commit with user-provided message
git commit -m "$(cat <<'EOF'
[commit message here]

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <[e-mail]>
EOF
)"

If "Select specific files":

• Ask which files to stage
• Stage only those files
• Commit

Step 4: Push to Remote

# Push to current branch's upstream
git push

# If no upstream, push with -u flag
git push -u origin $(git branch --show-current)

Step 5: Verify

# Confirm push succeeded
git log --oneline -1

# Show remote status
git status

Completion Checklist

• Repository state checked
• Changes reviewed by user
• Commit message approved
• Changes committed
• Pushed to remote
• Push verified

Notes

• Always shows diff before committing (safety gate)
• Adds Co-Authored-By trailer for AI contributions
• Does NOT use --force push (safety)
• Does NOT amend existing commits (safety)
