GitHub Committer is a Visual Studio Code extension that automates the process of committing and pushing changes to your GitHub repository. It's perfect for developers looking to save time by automating repetitive Git operations while maintaining an organized commit history.
- Automatic Commit and Push: Automatically commits and pushes your changes to your GitHub repository at a fixed interval (every 30 minutes).
- Smart Change Tracking: Tracks added, modified, and deleted files separately to generate detailed commit messages.
- OAuth Integration: Securely authorizes with GitHub, so you don't need to enter credentials repeatedly.
- Simple Start/Stop: Easily start and stop auto-committing using VS Code commands.
- A GitHub account.
- Git installed on your system.
- A workspace folder open in VS Code with a valid Git repository initialized.
- Currently, the extension commits and pushes only to the main branch.
The extension includes these user-friendly commands:
-
Authorize with GitHub
Authorize the extension to interact with your GitHub account. This step is required only once unless the token expires or is revoked. -
Start Auto Commit
Start the automatic commit and push process. -
Stop Auto Commit
Stop the automatic commit process.
- Install the extension from the VS Code Marketplace.
- Open a workspace folder with a Git repository.
- Use the
Authorize with GitHubcommand viaCtrl+Shift+P(Windows/Linux) orCmd+Shift+P(Mac) to authorize the extension with your GitHub account. - Use the
Start Auto Commitcommand to begin automated commits and pushes. - The extension will automatically detect changes and commit them to your repository with detailed summaries every 30 minutes.
Notes:
- The GitHub token is securely stored, so you won't need to reauthorize unless the token becomes invalid.
- Use the
Start Auto Commitcommand once per session. If you close VS Code or restart your device, simply run the command again to resume hassle-free automation.
- Manual Authorization: Users must manually run the authorization command using
Ctrl+Shift+P(Windows/Linux) orCmd+Shift+P(Mac) when using the extension for the first time. - Workspace Dependency: The extension only works when a workspace folder with a valid Git repository is open.
