###Git shortcut to automate the commit, squash and push commands

Sometimes executing basic git commands is very boring and repetitive so, this shortcut will help you a lot. It will run these commands in this sequence:

• git merge-base HEAD YOUR_CURRENT_BRANCH
• git reset --soft MERGE_BASE_ID
• git add .
• git commit -m "YOUR_MESSAGE_COMMIT"
• git push origin -f YOUR_CURRENT_BRANCH

Warnings:

• #1: This procedures clears all the commit history. So do not run it if you'll need this history.
• #2: This script run a force commit. So, be careful.

The Script is similar to:

#!/bin/bash

CURRENT_BRANCH=$(git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD)
COMMIT_MESSAGE=$1
FROM_BRANCH=${2-master}
MERGE_BASE_ID=$(git merge-base HEAD $FROM_BRANCH)

echo -e "$(tput setaf 2)** Executing reset command$(tput sgr0)"
git reset --soft $MERGE_BASE_ID

echo -e "$(tput setaf 2)\n** Executing add command$(tput sgr0)\n"
git add .

echo -e "$(tput setaf 2)\n** Executing commit command$(tput sgr0)\n"
git commit -S -am "$COMMIT_MESSAGE"

echo -e "$(tput setaf 2)\n** Executing push command$(tput sgr0)\n"
git push origin -f $CURRENT_BRANCH
