💖 GIT-WIP(1) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the git-extras corner of the manual, section 1, and today's main character is git-wip 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

git-wip — Create a Work In Progress commit

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

git-wip

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So here's the vibe: you make a Work In Progress commit. That's it. That's the whole thing. 😌

And the way it does that? It scoops up every single file in the working directory and commits all of them. Not some of them. Not the ones you carefully staged. ALL. OF. THEM. no cap 💅

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

  • None — literally zero options bestie, this command is unbothered and thriving, it just does the thing 🙈

⭐ EXAMPLES ⭐

First up: create a WIP commit which stores all changes in the working directory. Chef's kiss. 👑

$ git wip

Then, later on, you undo the commit and keep making changes — because that's the whole point of a work in progress, right?

$ git unwip
it's giving "save my spot" energy and honestly? iconic 🔥
