commit-helper

Create a YAML file defining your commit sequence with file groupings and messages, then run the commit-helper script to preview and execute commits. This organizes changes into logical commits while preventing duplicate files across multiple commits.

Yes. Run the script with your YAML plan file without the --execute flag to preview all planned commits, file assignments, and commit messages before any changes are written to git history.

The tool validates that all files exist in your repository, prevents the same file from appearing in multiple commits, and requires explicit user authorization before executing any commits to ensure safety.

Pass an optional repo path override in your YAML configuration to point the tool to a different repository location, allowing you to plan and execute commits across multiple projects.

Yes. Commit plans are idempotent, so you can rerun the same YAML plan multiple times as you update your staged changes, and the tool will execute only the commits you authorize each time.

Yes. Commit-helper automates git operations through YAML plans, so you need git installed and configured on your system for the tool to create and execute commits.
