* About
~git-auto-commit-mode~ is a minor mode for GNU Emacs[fn::
http://gnu.org/software/emacs/] that, when enabled, adds and commits
a file after every save.
** Why
I thought of it when I was editing my configuration files. Most of
my changes in my configuration files are fairly simple and I would
like them immediately committed, I don't want to have to sift
through all the changes at a later point to figure out what I want
to commit when.
** How
~git-auto-commit-mode~ blindly calls
#+BEGIN_SRC bash
git add FILE
git commit -m "RELATIVE-FILE-PATH"
#+END_SRC
setting up the git repository correctly is the responsibility of
the user.
** Features
~git-auto-commit-mode~ only really has one feature:
- Automatically commit file to current git repository after saving.
* Usage
To be able to use it you need to put it somewhere in your
~load-path~ and load it, for example:
#+NAME: .emacs.d
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(add-to-list 'load-path "~/path/to/git-auto-commit-mode.el")
(autoload 'git-auto-commit-mode "git-auto-commit-mode")
#+END_SRC
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:
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
;; -*- eval: (git-auto-commit-mode 1) -*-
#+END_SRC
Or, if you're in anything older than emacs 24:
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
;; -*- mode: git-auto-commit -*-
#+END_SRC
** 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:
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
((nil . ((git-auto-commit-mode . t))))
#+END_SRC
** As a hook
I doubt this will ever really be useful, but it is possible:
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(add-hook 'some-hook 'git-auto-commit-mode)
#+END_SRC
