What this script does

This script will:

• stage all your changes, i.e. git add .
• commit your changes with a message, i.e. git commit -m ${command_line_argument}
• push changes to your repository, i.e. git push origin ${current_git_branch}

This script will also throw an error if you try to push directly to master. You must instead push to a different branch and merge that with master directly on GitHub, GitLab, etc.

How to use it

0. Make sure you're using a bash shell.

1. Download the .bashrc file from this repo and add it to your root directory. If you already have a .bashrc file, simply copy and paste the code.

2. Open a terminal and run source .bashrc from your root directory.

3. cd into the directory with the git code you want to update.

4. Run git-no-master ${commit_message} in the command line. Examples, git-no-master "initial commit".

All set! The script gets your current branch and automatically pushes to that branch on the origin remote, unless you're on the master branch.

Notes

• This requires setting up the tracking reference initially, i.e. git push -u origin ${branch_name}. This is intended to prevent creating new branches on the repo by accident. To allow this, simply replace git push origin with git push -u origin in source code.

• This pushes to the standard origin remote. If you would like to push to a different remote, simply change git push origin to git push ${new_remote}.
