gitp-ush

Write gitp ush and execute git push -u origin <current-branch>.

A small demo that turns your typo into a feature - making gitp ush a shortcut for git push with automatic upstream setting.

Features

• Simple typo-to-feature conversion: gitp ush → git push -u origin <branch>
• Automatically detects your current git branch
• Automatically sets upstream tracking
• Supports additional git push arguments

Installation

cargo build --release

The binary will be created at ./target/release/gitp

Optional: Add to your PATH:

# Copy to a directory in your PATH
sudo cp ./target/release/gitp /usr/local/bin/

# Or add an alias to your shell config (.bashrc, .zshrc, etc.)
alias gitp='/path/to/target/release/gitp'

Usage

Basic usage:

gitp ush

What happens:

Current branch: main
Executing: git push -u origin main
Successfully pushed to origin/main

With additional arguments:

gitp ush --force
gitp ush --tags
gitp ush --force-with-lease

How it works

1. You run gitp ush (either by typo or intentionally)
2. The tool detects the current git branch
3. Executes git push -u origin <branch> with any additional arguments
4. Sets upstream tracking automatically

Demo Purpose

This demonstrates how to build a simple CLI tool in Rust that:

• Parses command-line arguments
• Executes git commands programmatically
• Provides a better UX by automating common tasks
• Turns a common typo into a useful feature
