# GP Script Improvements
|
|
|
|
## Original Script Issues
|
|
|
|
The original `gp` script had several limitations and potential issues:
|
|
|
|
1. **No error handling** - Script could fail silently or in unexpected ways
|
|
2. **Unsafe operations** - Always commits and pushes without confirmation
|
|
3. **Poor commit messages** - Generated from diff first line, often meaningless
|
|
4. **No flexibility** - Hard-coded to push to `main` branch
|
|
5. **No dry-run mode** - No way to preview what would happen
|
|
6. **Limited functionality** - No help, version, or autocomplete support
|
|
7. **Poor user experience** - No colored output or informative messages
|
|
|
|
## Improvements Made
|
|
|
|
### 1. Safety and Error Handling
|
|
- **Strict error handling** with `set -euo pipefail`
|
|
- **Git repository validation** before any operations
|
|
- **Change detection** to avoid empty commits
|
|
- **User confirmation** before committing (unless `--force` used)
|
|
- **Proper error messages** with colored output
|
|
|
|
### 2. Enhanced Functionality
|
|
- **Dry-run mode** (`--dry-run`/`-n`) to preview changes
|
|
- **Custom commit messages** - optional argument overrides auto-generation
|
|
- **Branch selection** (`--branch`/`-b`) to push to any branch
|
|
- **Add-all option** (`--add-all`/`-a`) to include untracked files
|
|
- **Force mode** (`--force`/`-f`) to skip confirmations
|
|
|
|
### 3. Smart Commit Message Generation
|
|
- **File type detection** - recognizes source, config, docs, and test files
|
|
- **Change type analysis** - detects additions, modifications, deletions
|
|
- **Conventional commit style** - uses prefixes like `feat:`, `docs:`, `test:`
|
|
- **Intelligent descriptions** - better context than original script
|
|
|
|
### 4. User Experience
|
|
- **Colored output** - different colors for info, warnings, errors, success
|
|
- **Comprehensive help** - detailed usage information and examples
|
|
- **Status display** - shows current branch, repository, and changes
|
|
- **Progress feedback** - clear indication of what's happening
|
|
|
|
### 5. Integration Features
|
|
- **Version command** - reports script version
|
|
- **Autocomplete support** - bash completion for options
|
|
- **Standard CLI conventions** - follows common command-line patterns
|
|
|
|
## Usage Examples
|
|
|
|
### Basic Usage
|
|
```bash
|
|
gp # Auto-generate commit message and push
|
|
gp "Fix parser bug" # Use custom commit message
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Advanced Usage
|
|
```bash
|
|
gp --dry-run # Preview what would be committed
|
|
gp --add-all # Include untracked files
|
|
gp --branch develop # Push to develop branch
|
|
gp --force "Emergency fix" # Skip confirmation prompt
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Information Commands
|
|
```bash
|
|
gp --help # Show help
|
|
gp version # Show version
|
|
gp autocomplete # Show completion options
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Benefits
|
|
|
|
1. **Safer** - Prevents accidental commits and pushes
|
|
2. **More flexible** - Works with different workflows and branching strategies
|
|
3. **Better commit history** - Generates meaningful commit messages
|
|
4. **User-friendly** - Clear feedback and error messages
|
|
5. **Professional** - Follows CLI best practices and conventions
|
|
6. **Maintainable** - Well-structured code with proper error handling
|
|
|
|
## Backward Compatibility
|
|
|
|
The improved script maintains backward compatibility:
|
|
- Running `gp` without arguments still auto-generates a commit message and pushes
|
|
- The basic workflow is unchanged
|
|
- New features are opt-in through command-line flags
|
|
|
|
## Installation
|
|
|
|
1. Replace the original `gp` script with `gp_improved`
|
|
2. Ensure it's executable: `chmod +x gp`
|
|
3. The script works from any directory within a git repository |
