name: push description: Push current branch to origin; supports /push <submodule>. triggers:

• push
• /push

push

Push current branch to origin remote, checking if remote exists first.

SUBMODULE MODE: If a submodule name is provided (e.g., /push foundation), scope operations to that submodule only, not the main repository.

Configuration is read from foundation-config.yaml.

If submodule name provided:

1. Check if submodule exists: git submodule status <submodule-name>
2. Change to submodule directory: cd <submodule-name>
3. Run push workflow in submodule context
4. Exit after submodule push (do NOT push main repository)

If no submodule name provided, proceed with main repository push workflow below.

Workflow Overview

1. Check if origin remote exists
2. Verify current branch
3. Check for unpushed commits
4. Push to origin
5. Handle errors appropriately

Tasks

Step 1: Determine Scope

If submodule name provided:

1. Verify submodule exists:

   if ! git submodule status <submodule-name> >/dev/null 2>&1; then
     echo "❌ Submodule not found: <submodule-name>"
     exit 1
   fi
   

2. Save parent directory and change to submodule directory:

   ORIGINAL_DIR=$(pwd)  # Save parent directory before cd
   cd <submodule-name> || exit 1
   

3. Update scope context (all subsequent operations in submodule)

If no submodule name provided, proceed with main repository context.

Step 2: Check if Origin Remote Exists

echo "🔍 Checking for origin remote..."

# Check if any remotes exist
if ! git remote | grep -q .; then
  echo "❌ Error: No git remotes configured"
  echo ""
  echo "To add a remote, run:"
  echo "  git remote add origin <remote-url>"
  echo "  git push -u origin <branch-name>"
  exit 1
fi

# Check specifically for origin remote
if ! git remote | grep -q "^origin$"; then
  echo "❌ Error: 'origin' remote not found"
  echo ""
  echo "Available remotes:"
  git remote -v
  echo ""
  echo "To add origin remote, run:"
  echo "  git remote add origin <remote-url>"
  echo "  git push -u origin <branch-name>"
  exit 1
fi

# Display origin URL
ORIGIN_URL=$(git remote get-url origin 2>/dev/null || echo "unknown")
echo "✅ Origin remote found: $ORIGIN_URL"

Step 3: Check Current Branch

echo "📍 Checking current branch..."

CURRENT_BRANCH=$(git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD)

if [ -z "$CURRENT_BRANCH" ]; then
  echo "❌ Error: Detached HEAD state - cannot push"
  echo "Current commit: $(git rev-parse HEAD)"
  echo ""
  echo "To push, checkout a branch first:"
  echo "  git checkout -b <branch-name>"
  exit 1
fi

echo "✅ Current branch: $CURRENT_BRANCH"

Step 4: Check for Unpushed Commits

echo "🔍 Checking for unpushed commits..."

# Fetch latest from origin to compare
git fetch origin --quiet 2>/dev/null || {
  echo "⚠️  Warning: Could not fetch from origin (remote may not exist yet)"
  echo "Will attempt to push anyway..."
}

# Check if branch has upstream set
UPSTREAM=$(git rev-parse --abbrev-ref --symbolic-full-name @{u} 2>/dev/null || echo "")

if [ -z "$UPSTREAM" ]; then
  echo "ℹ️  No upstream branch set for $CURRENT_BRANCH"
  echo "Will push and set upstream on first push"
  HAS_UPSTREAM=false
else
  echo "✅ Upstream branch: $UPSTREAM"
  HAS_UPSTREAM=true
  
  # Check if local is ahead of remote
  LOCAL=$(git rev-parse @)
  REMOTE=$(git rev-parse @{u} 2>/dev/null || echo "")
  BASE=$(git merge-base @ @{u} 2>/dev/null || echo "")
  
  if [ -n "$REMOTE" ] && [ -n "$BASE" ]; then
    if [ "$LOCAL" = "$REMOTE" ]; then
      echo "✅ Branch is up to date with $UPSTREAM"
      echo "No commits to push"
      exit 0
    elif [ "$LOCAL" = "$BASE" ]; then
      echo "⚠️  Local branch is behind $UPSTREAM"
      echo "Consider pulling first with: git pull origin $CURRENT_BRANCH"
    elif [ "$REMOTE" = "$BASE" ]; then
      COMMITS_AHEAD=$(git rev-list --count @{u}..@)
      echo "⬆️  Local branch is $COMMITS_AHEAD commit(s) ahead of $UPSTREAM"
    else
      echo "🔀 Local and remote branches have diverged"
      echo "Consider pulling and merging first"
    fi
  fi
fi

Step 5: Push to Origin

echo "📤 Pushing to origin..."

if [ "$HAS_UPSTREAM" = "false" ]; then
  # First push - set upstream
  echo "Setting upstream to origin/$CURRENT_BRANCH..."
  git push -u origin "$CURRENT_BRANCH" || {
    PUSH_EXIT_CODE=$?
    echo "❌ Error: Push failed (exit code: $PUSH_EXIT_CODE)"
    echo ""
    echo "Common issues:"
    echo "  - Remote repository doesn't exist or is inaccessible"
    echo "  - Authentication required (check credentials)"
    echo "  - Branch name conflicts with remote branch"
    echo ""
    echo "To troubleshoot:"
    echo "  git remote -v  # Check remote URL"
    echo "  git status     # Check repository state"
    exit 1
  }
else
  # Subsequent push
  git push origin "$CURRENT_BRANCH" || {
    PUSH_EXIT_CODE=$?
    echo "❌ Error: Push failed (exit code: $PUSH_EXIT_CODE)"
    echo ""
    echo "Common issues:"
    echo "  - Remote has commits you don't have (pull first)"
    echo "  - Authentication required (check credentials)"
    echo "  - Permission denied (check repository access)"
    echo ""
    echo "To troubleshoot:"
    echo "  git pull origin $CURRENT_BRANCH  # Pull latest first"
    echo "  git status                        # Check repository state"
    exit 1
  }
fi

echo "✅ Successfully pushed to origin/$CURRENT_BRANCH"

Step 6: Summary

echo ""
echo "✅ Push workflow completed"
echo ""
echo "Summary:"
echo "  - Branch: $CURRENT_BRANCH"
echo "  - Remote: origin"
echo "  - Upstream: ${UPSTREAM:-origin/$CURRENT_BRANCH (newly set)}"
echo "  - Latest commit: $(git rev-parse --short HEAD)"

Step 7: Return to Original Directory (if in submodule mode)

If submodule name was provided:

if [ -n "$ORIGINAL_DIR" ] && [ "$(pwd)" != "$ORIGINAL_DIR" ]; then
  cd "$ORIGINAL_DIR" || exit 1
  echo "✅ Returned to main repository directory"
fi

Configuration

Optional configuration in foundation-config.yaml:

development:
  push:
    check_remote: true  # Check if origin exists before pushing
    set_upstream: true   # Set upstream on first push
    force_push: false    # Allow force push (use with caution)
    push_tags: false     # Also push tags

Error Handling

• If no remote exists: Exit with error and instructions to add remote
• If origin doesn't exist: Exit with error showing available remotes
• If detached HEAD: Exit with error and instructions
• If push fails: Exit with error and troubleshooting tips
• If local is behind remote: Warn but allow push attempt (may fail)

Inputs

• submodule_name (optional string): Submodule name to scope operations to (e.g., "foundation")

Examples

# Push main repository
/push

# Push foundation submodule
/push foundation
