GitAutoPush

Description

GitAutoPush is a user-friendly Bash script designed to automate the process of adding, committing, and pushing changes to a Git repository. With a clean and interactive command-line interface, this script simplifies version control operations and enhances productivity.

Features

• Loading Spinner: Displays a spinner animation during the git add process to indicate ongoing operations.
• Commit Prompt: Prompts the user to enter a commit message interactively.
• Environment Variable Display: Shows the GITHUB_ACCESS_TOKEN for convenience.
• Error Handling: Checks for the existence of a .git directory and handles errors gracefully.
• Customizable Separators: Uses dynamic separators with titles for organized output.

Usage

1. Clone the Repository:

   git clone https://github.com/muhfalihr/GitAutoPush.git
   cd GitAutoPush

2. Make the Script Executable:

   chmod +x gitautopush.sh

3. Add the directory location of the gitautopush file to the PATH environment variable Create an environment variable for GITHUB_ACCESS_TOKEN in the files ~/.bashrc ( for bash shell ), ~/.zshrc ( for zsh shell ), ~/.config/fish/config.fish ( for fish shell ). Because I use the zsh shell, for this practice I edited the configuration in the ~/.zshrc file.

   nano ~/.zshrc

   Add the gitautopush directory to the PATH environment variable

   export GITHUB_ACCESS_TOKEN=<github-access-token>
   export PATH=$PATH:/path/to/GitAutoPush

   save changes to the ~/.zshrc file

4. Set environment variables

   source ~/.zshrc

5. Run the Script:

   gitautopush.sh
