This is a Bash script that automates common Git tasks, including initializing a repository, adding files, committing changes, creating branches, adding remotes, and pushing changes.

Features

• Checks if Git is installed and prompts the user to install it if not.
• Configures Git username and email if not already set.
• Initializes a new Git repository if one doesn't exist.
• Allows the user to add all files or specify files to add.
• Commits changes with a user-provided commit message.
• Creates and switches to a new branch if specified.
• Adds a remote repository if a URL is provided if it is already exits then handles the error.
• Pushes changes to the specified remote and branch.

Usage

./git_automation.sh -m <commit-message> [-b <branch-name(default='main')>] [-r <remote-name(default='origin')>] [-u <remote-url>]
