git pp

A (tiny) Git utility for auto-committing and concurrent pushing.

Powered by asyncio, with no dependency besides python>=3.10 and git.

Features

  • Auto-stages and commits with custom or generated commit messages
  • Pushes to multiple or all remotes of a git repository concurrently with asyncio
  • Operates on any number of git repositories at the same time

Demo

Asciicast

In this demo, git pp did the following in ~/config and ~/gui repos:

  • (Concurrently) Auto staged all changes and commits with ISO-8601 timestamps as commit messages;
  • (Concurrently) Pushed the changes in the checked out branch to all of their remotes, in this case, they’re origin and lab.

Use cases and example usage

  • You have multiple remotes registered on a local git repository (or more) and want to push the changes to all or some of the remotes fast and efficiently.
# Use --push-only or -po

$ git pp --push-only # this pushes to all remotes of the current git repository, does not stages or commits
$ git pp --push-only --remote [one or more remotes] # only pushes to the specified remotes
$ git pp -po --timeout 10 # terminates pushing to one remotes if it takes more than 10 seconds
$ git pp -po -b dev ~/my-proj ~/my-proj2 # pushes the dev branch to all remotes in ~/my-proj and ~/my-proj2 repository
  • You're tired of using git add --all && git commit every time you make a little change and want to automate this across one or more repositories.
$ git pp # stages all files in the current git repository and commits with a timestamp as the commit message
$ git pp -m 'Initial commit' # custom commit message
$ git pp --no-status # don't show git status and git add outputs

And you can do both of the above (auto-commit and push) with --push:

# Use --push or -p

$ git pp --push # stages, commits and pushes to all remotes.
$ git pp --push --remote [one or more remotes]
$ git pp -p --timeout 10
$ git pp -p -b dev ~/my-proj ~/my-proj2

$ git pp -h
usage: git pp [-h] [-m COMMIT_MESSAGE] [-v] [-so] [-p] [-po] [-r REMOTE [REMOTE ...]] [-b BRANCH] [-f] [-t TIMEOUT] [DIRS ...]
