OneCommit

A cli tool to create new branches with just one commit

Sometimes you can neither create well organized branches nor rebase your code appropriately.

For example, let's say that you have an error in production that is not replicable otherwhere. Most likely, you will create a lot of commits that you have to push in order to pull the changes where you are debugging your code.

When you finally discover the issue, you have probably done many changes but you have a bad history of commits that don't make sense. How to you clean your code?

OneCommit

1. compares the differences between your current branch with master (or a different branch)
2. saves the changes in a working folder
3. checkouts master
4. copies back the files in the repo
5. if you specify one, checkouts -b a new branch

At this point, you can commit with a clear message and create a clean pull request with just one commit.

Install

Use npm (or yarn):

npm i -g onecommit

Usage

Move to the root of the repo and run onecommit. Optionally, you can specify the master branch (if not master) and the new branch to be created with the changes (if you don't do, it will remain in the master branch).

Examples

Use master and stay in master after the restore:

onecommit

Use develop and create the new branch version2 after the restore:

onecommit -d develop -n version2

Commits the current changes before proceeding if not committed yet:

onecommit -c

In general, execute onecommit -h to get an help.

Updates

To update onecommit just run

onecommit -u

Next steps (maybe)

• Refactoring it to make it easily expandeable.
• Adding a test unit.
