Git Workflow Automation Script

This bash script provides a streamlined workflow for committing and pushing changes to a Git repository while managing GitHub Actions workflow runs. It allows you to make commits, push changes, and interact with GitHub Actions, maintaining a clean log history.

Features

• Creates a new commit with a default message or amends the previous commit with a specified message.
• Pushes changes to the remote repository.
• Uses the GitHub CLI (gh) to cancel the last workflow run before starting a new one, keeping the log history clean.
• Customizable: Specify a commit message using the -m flag.

Prerequisites

• Git installed on your machine
• GitHub CLI (gh) installed and authenticated

Installation

1. Copy the script content from commit_and_push.sh to a file named commit_and_push.sh.
2. Make the script executable: chmod +x commit_and_push.sh
3. Optionally, move the script to a directory included in your $PATH to use it as a global command.

Usage

Basic Usage

./commit_and_push.sh

This will create a new commit with a default message and push the changes. It will also manage GitHub Actions workflow runs.

Specify a Commit Message

./commit_and_push.sh -m "Your commit message here"

Using as a Function Alias in Shell Configuration Files

You can add the following line to your shell configuration file (e.g., .bashrc, .zshrc) to use the script as a function alias:

alias commit_and_push="/path/to/commit_and_push.sh"

Replace /path/to/commit_and_push.sh with the actual path to the script. After adding this line, you can use commit_and_push as a command in your terminal.

Notes

• Ensure that the GitHub CLI (gh) is installed and authenticated.
• Customize the workflow file and branch name in the script as per your repository.
