github

A quick blog post to share a bash script that I use almost daily to automate the basic GitHub “commit and push” process. Steps to reproduce: Create a file, for example gitpush.sh, and copy/paste the content below: #!/bin/bash RESET="\033[0m" BOLD="\033[1m" YELLOW="\033[38;5;11m" #Get the argument message #read -p "Add Commit message: " message read -p "$(echo -e $BOLD$YELLOW"Add Commit message: "$RESET)" message #Stage all changes git add . #Commit the file(s) git commit -m "$message" echo "Added the commit with message: '$message'" #Get current branch and push changes current_branch=$(git branch --show-current) git push origin "$current_branch" #echo "Pushed changes to '$current_branch' branch" echo -e $BOLD$YELLOW"Pushed changes to '$current_branch' branch"$RESET Move it to /usr/local/bin to make the script available everywhere....

Git is a version control system. Basically, if someone changes a file (like opens a document and writes stuff in it, changes a line of code, or so on) it records the differences between the new version and the old version, and maintains a history. This allows people to preserve differing versions, go back in time to earlier ones, review changes as they have occurred over time, and so on....
