Short cut to git commit -m using folder path after httpdocs
# add this to your ~/.bashrc
# then as long as you're inside an httpdocs folder (e.g. /var/www/vhosts/example/httpdocs/my/awesome/tool)
# you can go like this:
# git add .
# git status (to be safe now)
# git_quick_commit I done some stuff
#
# and you'll get a commit message like:
# 45dcc35 my > awesome > tool: I done some stuff
#
# if you're in httpdocs at the time, e.g. /var/www/vhosts/example/httpdocs then it's more like this
#
# # git add .
# git status (you should just always be doing this right)
# git_quick_commit more stuff done
#
# and you'll get a commit message like:
# 123abc7 more stuff done
# quick commit message, to use everything after httpdocs
function git_quick_commit {
# this only works for something inside an httpdocs folder
if pwd | grep -iv "httpdocs"
then
echo 'no httpdocs found, cannot quick-commit'
return
fi
# we need a commit message
message="$@"
if [[ -z "$message" ]]
then
echo 'No commit message supplied'
return
fi
# strip everything up to and including httpdocs
# replace remaining / with >
# e.g. /var/www/vhosts/example/httpdocs/path/to/tool/
# becomes path > to > tool
toolpath="$(pwd | sed -E "s/.*httpdocs\/?//" | sed -E "s/\// > /g")"
# if the tool path isn't empty, add a colon,
# before using all params as one string
# e.g. git_qucik_commit all this stuff
# will become "path > to > tool: all this stuff"
if [[ ! -z "$toolpath" ]]
then
message="$toolpath: $message"
fi
echo "Commiting with message: $message"
git commit -m "$message"
}
