Commit and push

Keep a finished change from the desktop app — commit on a new or existing branch, push with your OK, and see your repository's CI result in the thread.

On this page

A finished change sits in your folder as ordinary edits. Nothing is committed and nothing is pushed until you say so.

YOUR COMPUTER YOUR GIT HOST You say commit I commit on a branch only the files I changed You say push, and I ask every time, never forced The branch arrives a remote that moved ahead rejects it Your CI runs your own checks I tell you the result passed, or what failed 1 2 3 your OK 4 5 read back
Nothing is committed or pushed until you say so; after a push, your own CI is the independent check.

Commit#

Choose Commit… on the finished task, or say "commit". The card has:

The commit card with message and branch

Commit message, branch, and whether the branch must be new.

Field What it does
Commit message Filled in for you; edit it
Branch (new or existing, optional) Empty: a new branch named after the work, and your folder switches to it. A name that doesn't exist: I create it. A name that exists: I add my commit to it without switching your folder
Must be a new branch I stop if the name is taken, instead of adding to it

What goes in:

  • only the files I changed. Anything you had changed stays uncommitted, where it is;
  • your Git hooks run as usual.

If my changes conflict with an existing branch, I stop, name the files, and write nothing.

If the change's checks did not all pass, the card says so. You can still commit it; it is marked unverified.

Push#

Choose Commit & push…, or say "commit and push". After the commit, a system dialog asks, every time:

I'm about to push release-1.4 to origin. OK?
I never push without asking you, every time, and I never force-push.
                                                   [Not now]  [Push it]
  • I only push a branch I created or committed onto in this thread.
  • Never forced. If the remote has moved ahead, the push is rejected and I tell you.

Your CI, in the thread#

After a push I read your repository's own checks and report them:

Your CI passed on ysra/partial-refunds (4 checks green).
Your CI failed on ysra/partial-refunds: test. Want me to look into it?

I read it with tools you already have signed in on this computer (gh for GitHub, glab for GitLab), and I only read. If neither is there, I say that I can't see your CI from here.

What I never do in your Git#

No force push. No deleting branches, tags or stashes. No hard reset, clean, rebase, or amending your commits. No Git change you didn't ask for in this thread.
