Commit

A zero-parameter workflow that validates, commits, and pushes changes.

Workflow

Step 1: Check for uncommitted surprises

Run git status and review all staged and untracked files. Flag any files that should NOT be committed:

  • Binary files (images, compiled artifacts, .pyc, .so, .dll, .exe)
  • Temporary files (.tmp, .log, .bak, ~ suffixes)
  • Secrets or credentials (.env, credentials.json, API keys, tokens)
  • OS junk (.DS_Store, Thumbs.db)
  • Large generated files (node_modules/, __pycache__/, *.lock that aren't expected)
  • Editor artifacts (.swp, .swo)

If any suspicious files are found, list them and ask the user to confirm before proceeding. Suggest adding them to .gitignore if appropriate.

If nothing suspicious, proceed without asking.

Step 2: Stage all changes

Run git add -A to stage everything (after user confirmation in Step 1 if needed).

Step 3: Generate a conventional commit message

Run git diff --cached and git diff --cached --stat to analyze staged changes.

Write a commit message following Conventional Commits:

<type>(<scope>): <short summary>

<body with details>

Types: feat, fix, docs, style, refactor, perf, test, build, ci, chore

Rules:

  • Summary is imperative mood, lowercase, no period, max 72 chars
  • Body wraps at 72 chars, explains why not what
  • Pick the single most accurate type
  • Scope is optional -- use only when it adds clarity
  • Omit the body for trivial changes

Step 4: Commit

Commit with the generated message. Use a HEREDOC to pass the message:

git commit -m "$(cat <<'EOF'
<message here>
EOF
)"

Step 5: Push

Run git push. If no upstream is set, use git push -u origin HEAD.

Step 6: Confirm

Show the user the commit hash, message, and remote status.
