About

git-auto-commit-mode is a minor mode for GNU Emacs that, when enabled, tries to commit changes to a file after every save. It can also try to push to the default upstream.

Status	On-hold
Language	Emacs Lisp
Licennse	GPLv3

Features

• Automatically commit changes to a file after each save.

  • The commit message will contain the file name relative to the repository root.
• Optionally, automatically push commits to the default upstream.

Requirements

• GNU Emacs
• git

Download

There are download links for a tar.gz and a zip file of the latest development version at the top of this page.

git-auto-commit-mode is in the Marmalade repo.

Install

Once you have downloaded git-auto-commit-mode you have at least 2 choices for installation.

package.el

If you have Emacs v24+ or package.el and Marmalade configured, you can just:

  (package-install "git-auto-commit-mode")

manual

Otherwise you have to dowload it and then put it somewhere in your load-path, or add that location to your load-path:

  (add-to-list 'load-path "~/location/of/git-auto-commit-mode")

After which you can either require the package in your Emacs init file:

  (require 'git-auto-commit-mode)

Or set-up some autoloads:

  (autoload 'git-auto-commit-mode "git-auto-commit-mode" nil t)

Usage

There are a few ways this could be used:

As file-local variable

This is the way I use it and I wanted to use it. Any file that you would like to have automatically committed upon saving gets this prop-line:

  ;; -*- eval: (git-auto-commit-mode 1) -*-

Or, if you're in anything older than emacs 24:

  ;; -*- mode: git-auto-commit -*-

As a directory-local variable

Put the following in a .dir-locals.el file in any directory where you want to enable git-auto-commit-mode for all files:

  ((nil . ((git-auto-commit-mode . t))))

As a hook

I doubt this will ever really be useful, but it is possible:

  (add-hook 'some-hook 'git-auto-commit-mode)

Automatically push

If you wish to push your changes each time the file is saved you should set gac-automatically-push-p to t. This is a buffer local variable, so you will have to put it in your dir-local or file-local variables. Alternatively, if you're sure you can also set the default value to t, like so:

  (setq-default gac-automatically-push-p t)
