commit-helper (ch)

A simple tool to help run commands related to git commit in one go.

Installation

Make sure you have Cargo installed, then run the following command in your terminal:

cargo install --git https://github.com/rzmk/commit-helper

Reference

To run the interactive workflow, simply run ch in your terminal:

ch

--help or -h

To get the help message, run ch --help or ch -h:

ch -h

--add or -a

If you want to run git add -A before committing, use the --add or -a flag:

ch -a

--push or -p

If you want to run git push after committing, use the --push or -p flag:

ch -p

--message or -m

If you want to pass in a custom commit message (therefore skipping the interactive steps), use the --message or -m flag:

ch -m "feat: add new feature"

--debug or -d

If you want to see the debug output, use the --debug or -d flag:

ch -d

Note: The debug output will not be printed if you use the --dry-run flag.

--dry-run

If you want to do a dry run without executing any commands, use the --dry-run flag:

ch --dry-run

Example

If I want to run git add -A, then git commit -m "feat: add new feature", then git push all in one go, I could run the following command:

ch -m "feat: add new feature" -a -p

Equivalently to the above command, I may instead combine the short flags:

ch -apm "feat: add new feature"

Note: The order of the combined short flags does not matter, except for the -m flag, which must be the last flag if you want to pass in a custom commit message after a combination of flags.
