One-shotting git pull-commit-push in VS Code
A frustration I've had since switching to VS Code last year from terminal vim is that the built-in source control extension isn't very keyboard-friendly. As a result, I've been tabbing back and forth between VS Code and Fork and kicking myself every single time, especially when I'm just editing a single file and I really don't need to review my changes before I push.
Well, I finally took the five minutes to write a VS Code
macro
to do this for me. First, run Open Keyboard Shortcuts (JSON)
and add this
to the array of keyboard shortcuts:
{
"command": "runCommands",
"key": "cmd+alt+ctrl+p",
"args": {
"commands": [
"workbench.action.files.save",
"git.sync",
"git.stageAll",
"git.commitAll",
"git.push"
]
}
}
Now when I smoosh command
, option
, and control
, then hit P
, it'll pull
from the tracked remote branch, stage & commit everything, open a window for me
to enter a quick message (usually "lol"
), and then when I hit command-w
, the
result will be pushed. Saves me about 10 seconds per commit.
