Excuse my ignorance, stupid Git question.

Well, here I am asking the basic of questions about git.

 

Normally, when I need to push my changes to github, I have to run

git add --all
git commit -m "Commit Comment"
git push -u origin master

 

Is there a way I can streamline this process? I have to do push to multiple repositories, at least 40 times a day per site, finding a easier way to do this would save me a hell of a lot of time.

 

Cheers!

You don't have to push all the time. Push just means that you're sending the information/update to your remote repository, if you want you can just commit everything and do one push at the end of the day, or once in a while.

 

If you want it to go faster, you can setup aliases in your terminal, I like to use "gaa" for "git add all", "gc" for "git commit", etc.

I'd write a python script or something like that to handle it for you

You could make a single word alias for each one or write a shell script for all three at once.

Ya just make a bash script or something

First, specifying -u origin master every time is unnecessary. -u is short of --set-upstream, which you only need to do the first time out push a new local tracking branch.

 

Instead, I recommend this:

git config --global push.default simple

Then you can simply run:

git push

When adding new files, use short version of git add flag:

git add -A

If you're in the top-level directory of your repository, you can just run:

git add .

When working with files that are already tracked, you can add and commit in one step with the -a flag (--all):

git commit -am "message"

So to recap, your workflow can be simplified to:

git commit -am "message" && git push

As others have suggested, you can access git commands more easily by creating Bash aliases or even a function in your .bashrc.

 

Happy coding.

Here's a function that you can add to your .bashrc to simplify the process:

gacp()
{
  if [$# -ne 1]; then
    printf "Usage: gacp <commit_message>\n"
  else  
    git commit -am "$1" && git push
  fi
}

Fun fact: Bash will autocomplete custom function names for you, for even more typing speed.
