# Gh Commit And Push > Pull latest changes from origin, stage new and modified files, inspect diffs, generate a detailed commit message, commit to the current or specified branch, and push to origin. Use when the user asks to quickly commit and push local changes (optionally to a specified branch), or needs a repeatable git workflow for pull + add + inspect + commit + push. Use when this capability is needed. - Skill: `tomevault-io/gh-commit-and-push` (Agent Skill, multi-file: 2 files) - Install (CLI): `npx skillmds@latest add tomevault-io/gh-commit-and-push` - Raw SKILL.md: https://api.skillmd.com/api/skills/tomevault-io/gh-commit-and-push/raw - Safety review: pending - Works with: Claude Code, Claude.ai, OpenAI Codex - Category: Productivity - Author: tomevault-io (https://skillmd.com/u/tomevault-io) - Updated: 2026-09-17 - Page: https://skillmd.com/skills/tomevault-io/gh-commit-and-push --- # Gh Commit And Push ## Overview Automate a safe, repeatable git workflow that syncs with origin, stages changes, summarizes diffs, generates a detailed commit message, commits, and pushes. ## Workflow 1. Choose the target branch. - If a branch name is provided, switch to it (create locally from origin if needed) and use it for commit and push. - Otherwise, use the current branch. 2. Pull from origin with fast-forward only. - Fetch from origin. - Pull `origin/` with `--ff-only` to avoid accidental merges. 3. Stage and inspect changes. - Stage new and modified files with `git add -A`. - Inspect `git status --short` and `git diff --cached --stat`. 4. Generate a detailed commit message and commit. - Title: concise summary (include file count or key files). - Body: bullet list of changed files plus diff stats. - Commit with the generated message. 5. Push to origin. - Push the target branch to origin. ## Quick Command Use the script for a one-shot workflow: ```bash scripts/gh_commit_and_push.sh [branch] ``` - If `[branch]` is provided, the script will checkout or create it, pull from origin, commit there, and push to `origin/`. - If omitted, it uses the current branch. ## Notes - If there are no staged changes after `git add -A`, exit without committing. - Always show `git status --short` and `git diff --cached --stat` before committing to ensure the commit message matches the actual changes. ## Resources ### scripts/ - `gh_commit_and_push.sh`: Pulls from origin, stages changes, inspects diffs, builds a detailed commit message, commits, and pushes. --- > Converted and distributed by [TomeVault](https://tomevault.io/claim/brucehart) — claim your Tome and manage your conversions.
