Specially when editing my init.org file, I usually want to push every single change to origin. So I want to write a function to do this, I am almost there but still need some help.

(defun cesco/automatic-push () (magit-stage-modified) (magit-commit (concat "-m \"" COMMIT MESSAGE "\"" )) (magit-push MAGIT-CURRENT-BRANCH) )

I want the commit message to be the current day/time and push the current branch to origin.

Update

I can successfully commit, but magit-push is running too fast so there is nothing commited yet. How can I make it wait for the commit to be done before attempting to push?

(defun cesco/push () (interactive) (magit-stage-modified) (magit-commit (concat "-m \"" (format-time-string "%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S") "\"")) (magit-push) )

Update 2

Code

(defun cesco/automatic-push () (interactive) (magit-run-git "commit" "--all" (format-time-string "--message=%F %R")) (let ((current-branch (magit-get-current-branch))) (message "PUSHING!!!!") (magit-git-push current-branch (concat "origin/" current-branch) (list "--dry-run") ) ))

Here is an example that I think fits your description.

(defun cesco/automatic-push () (interactive) (magit-run-git "commit" "--all" (format-time-string "--message=%F %R")) (let ((current-branch (magit-get-current-branch))) (magit-git-push current-branch (concat "origin/" current-branch) (list "--dry-run"))))

I've removed the magit-stage-modified because you can do this with the --all flag to git commit. (Note that the push call has a "--dry-run" flag in there for testing.To actually push replace (list "--dry-run") with nil)

Instead of always pushing to origin, I'd recommend that you set the upstream branch for your local branch and then push there.

  • i have removed the (list "--dry-run") but still no push. Commented May 8, 2017 at 4:00
  • What does the magit process buffer show ($)? Commented May 8, 2017 at 4:01
  • i can see the pushing happen with the dry-run flag, otherwise it does not happen. I will update my question with the output Commented May 8, 2017 at 4:12
  • Are you still using your commit code? Note that my commit call is different than yours, which is starting an editor to make the commit. Commented May 8, 2017 at 4:16

    I'm still confused. I guess the process output that you removed in the edit was how it changed when you stopped using your commit code, but I don't know because you didn't say whether you were indeed mixing the code. Anyway, are you getting an error now? I'd guess that you're calling magit-git-push with the wrong number of arguments because you're removing (list "--dry-run") rather than replacing it with nil.
