Gitmmit is a simple tool where you can automatically commit new changes to your repository without having to open Github.
The tool is for simple commits only, handeling all types of changes to files (since it will run GIT on the specified folder, that needs to have a .git folder), making a simple commit message and having the capability of specifying a branch to commit to.

This is the list of commands in case you want to use the app via CMD.
- -p : Path where your .git folde is located (required)
- -m : Commit message (not required)
- -b : Branch to commit. If none is specified, your default branch will be selected (not required)
- -w : Turns off the watermark on the commit message in case you make a custom message. The water mark is a "(via Gitmmit)" at the end (not required)
gitmmit -p C:\Desktop\My website\ -m Index.html edited -b master -w
If you want have easy access to the tool in a way you don't need to reference the directory where the exe is, you can register a new environment variable to reference the exe path, so that next time you open the CMD, you can type directly the Gitmmit commands and it will work straight away!
Remember: do not have the CMD open while doing this, because the changes are only going to apply when you close it and open again.
- 1: On "My computer" right click it and go to Properties.
- 2: Find the option "Advanced system settings" and access it.
- 3: Go to "environment variables".
- 4: On "System variables", find "Path" and click "Edit" with it selected.
- 5: Click "New" and add the path where the Gitmmit.exe is. Make sure to put in a place where you won't move it, so you don't need to change the variable later.
- 6: Press "Ok" on everything and you are done!
I know that having Windows' smartscreen popping up takes credibility from my app, but it's totally safe to execute it. If you are familiar with digital certificates and all, you know they are expensive and I don't have the money to buy one, so I rely on Windows' system of trust on apps, where the smartscreen will show up and when a certain amount of users give access to the app, at one point the screen will go away and the app will be fully trusted. So there is no reason to be alarmed for seeing the Windows smartscreen, but if, somehow, you find a malicious content detected on my app, feel free to report it so I can work on fixing it.
