autogit

---

autogit wires itself into your agents' lifecycle hooks once, per machine. After that, every agent turn in an opted-in repo ends with stage → secrets scan → commit → push — and git log reads like the instructions you gave your agent, because the turn's prompt becomes the commit subject.

Credit: autogit began as davidondrej/autogit by David Ondrej — all credit to him for the idea and the original MVP. This repo is a heavily reworked fork (v0.5.0): per-clone config that can't leak to teammates, fail-closed safety, quiet batching, PR mode, and a full test suite.

✨ What's inside

	Feature	What it does
🚢	Auto-ship	Every agent turn ends with stage → scan → commit → push — zero ceremony
✉️	Prompts as commit messages	The subject is what you asked your agent to do; "yes"-type replies and slash commands never make it in
🔐	Secrets gate	Pattern scan over the staged diff blocks the push and unstages — fail-closed
↩️	One-command undo	autogit undo rewinds the remote and the local commit, leaving your changes back in the working tree
⏱️	Quiet batching	"quiet": "5m" accumulates turns and ships one commit after the repo goes quiet
🔀	PR mode	"pr": true pushes to autogit/<branch> and auto-opens a pull request via gh
🤝	Parallel-agent aware	Busy markers make simultaneous agents take turns; worktrees stay fully isolated
🛡️	Fail-safe by design	Hooks never disturb the agent; failed pushes are remembered and retried; merge/rebase states are never touched

🚀 Quick start

Claude Code — install as a plugin (recommended)

/plugin marketplace add mjenkinsx9/mjenkins-toolbox
/plugin install autogit@mjenkins-toolbox

The plugin wires the hooks automatically — no autogit setup, no edits to ~/.claude/settings.json, and disabling the plugin unwires everything. Then opt in per repo:

/autogit on

(/autogit status, /autogit undo, /autogit off, /autogit flush, and /autogit dry-run are also available.) Requires node on PATH — without it the hooks silently no-op.

Any agent — install the CLI

git clone https://github.com/mjenkinsx9/autogit && cd autogit && npm link
autogit setup
cd your-project && autogit on

setup wires the lifecycle hooks for every agent it finds — Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and Pi. Every agent turn in an opted-in repo now ships. Repos without autogit on are never touched.

macOS and Linux. Windows is unsupported — the hook commands are POSIX shell. Full install paths, the double-wiring guard, and per-agent notes are in docs/02-installation.md.
