Features

Run multiple commands related to git commit at once
Run an interactive commit message builder with a list of commit types (feat, fix, docs, etc.)

Optional Flags

You may also optionally pass flags to run other commands/tasks:

--add or -a runs git add -A before git commit
--push or -p runs git push after git commit
--message <message> or -m <message> runs git commit -m <message> instead of the interactive prompt
--debug or -d shows the output of the commands being run
--dry-run shows the commands that would be run without actually running them
- Note: This flag does not include debug output even if --debug or -d are also passed

Installation

First, make sure you have Cargo installed. Then, run the following command:

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

Great! Now you may run ch in your terminal to start the interactive prompt. For example, running ch -apm "feat: new feature" will run:

git add -A
git commit -m "feat: new feature"
git push
