git-auto

Git Workspace Automation — Streamline daily Git operations with intelligent defaults. Status checks, smart commits, safe pushes, and diff analysis in one skill.

When to Use

• Check workspace status across multiple repos
• Generate meaningful commit messages from staged changes
• Push with safety checks (branch protection, conflict detection)
• View formatted logs and diffs
• Batch operations across monorepo subdirectories

Commands

status

# Show concise workspace status
git-auto status
# Multi-repo status scan
git-auto status --all

Returns: modified files, untracked files, branch info, ahead/behind count.

commit

# Auto-generate commit message from diff
git-auto commit
# With explicit message
git-auto commit -m "feat: add user auth"
# Commit specific files
git-auto commit -f "src/auth.ts,src/types.ts"

Behavior:

1. Runs git diff --staged to analyze changes
2. Generates conventional commit message (feat/fix/refactor/docs/chore)
3. Validates message format before committing
4. Shows commit hash and summary

push

# Push current branch with safety checks
git-auto push
# Force push (with confirmation)
git-auto push --force

Safety checks:

• Warns if pushing to main/master directly
• Checks for upstream conflicts
• Verifies remote exists

log

# Last 10 commits, formatted
git-auto log
# Last N commits
git-auto log -n 20
# Filter by author
git-auto log --author "name"

diff

# Staged changes
git-auto diff
# Working directory changes
git-auto diff --unstaged
# Between branches
git-auto diff main..feature-branch

Smart Commit Message Format

Uses Conventional Commits:

• feat: — New feature
• fix: — Bug fix
• refactor: — Code restructuring
• docs: — Documentation only
• chore: — Maintenance tasks
• test: — Adding/updating tests

Integration

Works with any Git repository. No configuration needed — auto-detects .git directory and current branch. Pairs well with code-review skill for pre-commit analysis.
