About

Problem

• agents often edit lots of repos on my machine at once
• I often bounce across multiple repos in a singular work session:
  • adding little features here and there (mini-tasks for agent to do in background unattended)
  • remembering todos, editing READMEs, other chores
  • brilliant ideas
  • tangents
• want frequent checkpoints because agents go rogue and overwrite important stuff- devastating if you had a brilliant idea (or agent nukes something that isn't already protected by shelllock)
• need several mini-rollbacks/snapshots but cd-ing into each repo and then running git add / commit / push over and over is friction

Solution

• gitty is one command: stage all → commit → force-push
• run from any directory for any repo- pass repo root or get prompted
  • no cd
  • no && chaining
• checkpoint repo B while in repo A
  • drop a quick save before/after an agent run- always have a rollback

Summary

• one command: git add, git commit -m <msg>, git push -f
• from any dir, for any repo (pass path/to/repo/root or get prompted)
• built for agent-heavy workflows- fast checkpoints across many repos

Install

npm i -g @vd7/gitty

Usage

gitty [commit_mssg] [root_dir]

Arg	Description
commit_mssg	Commit message (prompted if omitted; default ..)
root_dir	Repo root to operate on (prompted if omitted; default $PWD)- checkpoint a repo without leaving your current dir

Examples

gitty "fix bug" /path/to/repo
gitty "checkpoint" $HOME/projects/other-repo   # save other-repo while elsewhere
gitty "wip"                                 # message only; root = $PWD
gitty                                      # prompts for both

• uses git push -f- overwrites remote
• use when you want a checkpoint, not shared history

Demo

• make a change
• run gitty with no args- answer prompts
• watch it stage, commit, and push

# make a change
touch "$HOME/projects/example-repo/test.txt"

# run (no args -> prompts)
gitty
Enter commit message [default: ..]: added XYZ feature
Enter root directory (absolute path) [default: /Users/you/projects/example-repo]:

# output (abbreviated)
