description	Quickly commit and push local changes while leaving validation to GitHub checks

Quick Commit and Push

Commit and push local changes quickly. Do not run local formatting, lint, or test commands by default; GitHub Actions runs validation after push.

Process

Step 1: Check for Changes

git status

Review what will be committed. If there are no changes, inform the user and stop.

Use git diff --stat or git diff --cached --stat when a quick scope check is useful. Do not run full validation unless the user explicitly asks for it.

Step 2: Stage Changes

git add -A

Step 3: Create Commit

Ask the user for a commit message, or generate one based on the changes.

IMPORTANT: Never include:

• "Generated with Codex"
• "Co-Authored-By: Codex"
• Any AI/Codex attribution

Commit message format:

git commit -m "Short description of changes"

For multi-line messages:

git commit -m "$(cat <<'EOF'
Short summary

Longer description if needed
EOF
)"

Step 4: Push to Remote

git push origin HEAD

If push fails due to upstream changes, pull first:

git pull --rebase origin HEAD && git push origin HEAD

Failure Handling

If staging, commit, or push fails:

1. Stop immediately
2. Report the failure to the user
3. Do not continue to later git steps
4. Help fix the issues if requested

If GitHub checks fail after push, inspect and fix them in a follow-up workflow.
