oops - Git Productivity Toolkit

gx oops is a safer, friendlier wrapper around git commit --amend. It lets you fix the last commit message, add forgotten files, or do both at once.

Usage

gx oops [flags]

Flags

Flag	Short	Description
`--message`	`-m`	New commit message
`--add`		File(s) to add to the last commit (repeatable)
`--dry-run`		Show what would change without making changes
`--force`		Allow amending even if the commit has already been pushed

Behavior

No flags: Opens your editor to amend the commit message interactively
-m only: Replaces the commit message
--add only: Adds files to the last commit without changing the message (--no-edit)
Both -m and --add: Adds files and changes the message in one operation

Examples

$ gx oops -m "fix: resolve login redirect bug"

Last commit: "fix login" (a1b2c3d)

  Amending message:
    Before: "fix login"
    After:  "fix: resolve login redirect bug"

Proceed? [y/N] y

OK Commit message amended.

$ gx oops --add src/auth.go

Last commit: "add auth module" (b2c3d4e)

  Adding to last commit:
    + src/auth.go

Proceed? [y/N] y

OK File added to last commit.

$ gx oops --add src/auth.go --add src/auth_test.go -m "add auth module with tests"

Last commit: "add auth" (b2c3d4e)

  Adding to last commit:
    + src/auth.go
    + src/auth_test.go

  Amending message:
    Before: "add auth"
    After:  "add auth module with tests"

Proceed? [y/N] y

OK File added and commit message amended.

$ gx oops --add src/forgot.go --dry-run

Last commit: "initial commit" (c3d4e5f)

DRY RUN. No changes will be made

  Would add src/forgot.go to last commit

Pushed commits: By default, gx oops refuses to amend a commit that has already been pushed to a remote branch. Amending pushed commits rewrites shared history and can cause problems for collaborators. Use --force to override this safety check if you know what you are doing.

Edge cases

If a file passed to --add does not exist, gx exits with ERROR File not found: <path>
If a file passed to --add has no changes (clean in git status), gx skips it with WARN Skipping <file>: no changes detected
If all --add files are skipped and no -m is provided, gx prints > No files with changes to add. and exits
Using --add . stages everything, similar to git add .
