Git Auto

Git workspace automation (status/commit/push/log/diff)

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.

Error Handling

Situation	Behavior
Not a git repo	Clear error message with suggestion
Merge conflicts	Shows conflict files, suggests resolution
No staged changes	Prompts to stage or shows unstaged changes
Auth failure	Suggests credential refresh
Detached HEAD	Warns and suggests creating branch
