💅 record — a Gen Z bestie tour of git-branchless-record(1)

from the General Commands Manual, periodt. This is the record page, and it's giving “make a commit and pick the changes yourself” energy. No cap.

✨ NAME ✨

record — create a commit by interactively selecting which changes to include. That's the whole vibe: you're curating the commit, not just yeeting everything in. 💖

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

record [-m|--message] [--fixup] [-i|--interactive] [-c|--create]
       [-d|--detach] [-I|--insert] [-s|--stash] [--untracked] [-h|--help]

Copy that exactly, bestie — flags are literal, iykyk. ✨

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Create a commit by interactively selecting which changes to include. That's it, that's the main character move: you get to choose what goes in the commit. 🫶

💖 OPTIONS 💖

• -m, --message <MESSAGES> — the commit message to use. Multiple messages get combined as separate paragraphs, similar to git commit. If you don't provide one, you'll be prompted to provide a commit message interactively. 💬
• --fixup <COMMIT_TO_FIXUP> — a commit to “fix up”. The message will be prefixed with fixup! following the supplied commit, suitable for use with git rebase --autosquash. 🔥
• -i, --interactive — select changes to include interactively, rather than using the current staged/unstaged changes. Cute little change-picker moment. 🎀
• -c, --create <CREATE> — create and switch to a new branch with the given name before committing. New branch, who dis. 🌱
• -d, --detach — detach the current branch before committing. Detached era. 💅
• -I, --insert — insert the new commit between the current commit and its children, if any. Sneaky little commit insertion, no cap. 🧚
• -s, --stash — after making the new commit, switch back to the previous commit. Boomerang behavior. 🪃
• --untracked <UNTRACKED_FILE_STRATEGY> — how should newly encountered, untracked files be handled? The possible values are:
  • add — add all untracked files. ✅
  • disable — disable all untracked file checking and processing. 🚫
  • prompt — prompt the user about how to handle each untracked file. 🙋
  • skip — skip all untracked files. ⏭️
• -h, --help — print help (see a summary with -h). The classic. 👑
