git-gac

A Git Add Commit tool that streamlines your git workflow by combining file staging and committing into a single command.

Installation

npm install -g git-gac

Usage

After installation, you can use any of these equivalent commands:

• gac - The short form
• git-gac - The full name
• git gac - Git integration (works automatically!)

Basic Examples

# Add all files and open interactive commit
gac

# Add all files and commit with message
gac -m "Fix bug in user authentication"

# Switch to branch, add files, and commit
gac -b feature-branch -m "Add new feature"

# Add specific files only
gac -f src/app.js src/utils.js

# Amend the last commit
gac -a

# Push after commit
gac -m "Ready for review" -p

All Options

• -a, --amend - Amend the previous commit
• -b, --branch - Switch to this branch first, then continue
• -f, --file - List of specific files to add (defaults to all)
• -F, --fileSkip - List of files to ignore/skip
• -i, --interactive - Use git add's patch mode
• -m, --message - Commit message (omit for verbose commit editor)
• -n, --no-verify - Skip git hooks during commit
• -s, --skip - Skip adding files (commit only)
• -t, --talisman - Run Talisman security scan
• -p, --push - Push to origin after successful commit
• -r, --pullRequest - Create pull request after commit (requires hub)
• -u, --updateOnly - Only add tracked files (ignore untracked)

Advanced Examples

# Interactive staging then commit
gac -i

# Amend last commit with new files
gac -a -f newfile.js

# Add all except certain files
gac -F package-lock.json -F *.log

# Branch, commit, and push in one command
gac -b hotfix -m "Critical security fix" -p

# Update only tracked files and push
gac -u -m "Update dependencies" -p

Migration from Homebrew

If you previously installed via Homebrew:

brew uninstall flare576/scripts/gac
npm install -g git-gac

All your existing gac commands will work exactly the same!
