Commit in Public

Share your git commits on social media automatically. Currently supports Bluesky, with more platforms coming soon!

Installation

npm install -g commit-in-public

The installation will guide you through an interactive setup where you can:

1. Connect your Bluesky account
2. Choose your share tag (e.g., "share" becomes "#share")
3. Configure whether to remove the tag from posts
4. Set up automatic sharing via git hooks (optional)

Usage

After installation, simply include your configured tag in your commit messages:

git commit -m "Added dark mode support #share"

Depending on your configuration:

• With tag removal (default): Posts "Added dark mode support" to Bluesky
• Without tag removal: Posts "Added dark mode support #share" to Bluesky

Git Hooks

During setup, you can choose to install a git hook that automatically checks for your share tag after each commit. If you choose not to install the hook, you can manually share commits by running:

npx commit-in-public

Reconfiguring

Need to change your settings? Run the setup again:

npx commit-in-public-setup
