gut save

Combines git add and git commit into one step. Optionally prompts for a commit message if none is provided.

Usage

gut save [options] [file...]

Options

Option Description
-m "message" Commit message (prompts interactively if omitted)
--all, -a Stage all changes before committing (like git add -A)
--amend Rewrite the last commit (message or staged content)
[file...] Stage and commit specific files only

Examples

# Commit already-staged files (prompts for message)
gut save

# Commit with a message
gut save -m "fix login redirect"

# Stage everything and commit
gut save --all -m "wip: refactor auth module"

# Stage and commit specific files
gut save src/login.js tests/login.spec.js -m "fix: null check"

# Amend the last commit with a new message
gut save --amend -m "fix: correct error message wording"

# Amend the last commit, opening the editor
gut save --amend

Behaviour

  1. Staging: If --all is given, runs git add -A. If specific files are provided, runs git add <files>. Otherwise, nothing is staged only already-staged changes are committed.
  2. Message: If -m is not provided and there are staged changes, you are prompted to type a message interactively. An empty message is rejected.
  3. Amend: If --amend is set and there are staged changes, they are squashed into the last commit. If nothing is staged, it opens the editor to reword the last commit message.

Amend rewrites history

--amend rewrites the last commit. If you've already pushed it, you'll need gut sync --force to update the remote. Don't amend commits that others may have based work on.
