# Session Auto-Commit Hook
Automatically commits and pushes changes when a GitHub Copilot coding agent session ends, ensuring your work is always saved and backed up.
## Overview
This hook runs at the end of each Copilot coding agent session and automatically:
- Detects if there are uncommitted changes
- Stages all changes
- Creates a timestamped commit
- Pushes to the remote repository
## Features
- **Automatic Backup**: Never lose work from a Copilot session
- **Timestamped Commits**: Each auto-commit includes the session end time
- **Safe Execution**: Only commits when there are actual changes
- **Error Handling**: Gracefully handles push failures
## Installation
1. Copy this hook folder to your repository's `.github/hooks/` directory:
```bash
cp -r hooks/session-auto-commit .github/hooks/
```
2. Ensure the script is executable:
```bash
chmod +x .github/hooks/session-auto-commit/auto-commit.sh
```
3. Commit the hook configuration to your repository's default branch
## Configuration
The hook is configured in `hooks.json` to run on the `sessionEnd` event:
```json
{
"version": 1,
"hooks": {
"sessionEnd": [
{
"type": "command",
"bash": ".github/hooks/session-auto-commit/auto-commit.sh",
"timeoutSec": 30
}
]
}
}
```
## How It Works
1. When a Copilot coding agent session ends, the hook executes
2. Checks if inside a Git repository
3. Detects uncommitted changes using `git status`
4. Stages all changes with `git add -A`
5. Creates a commit with format: `auto-commit: YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS`
6. Attempts to push to remote
7. Reports success or failure
## Customization
You can customize the hook by modifying `auto-commit.sh`:
- **Commit Message Format**: Change the timestamp format or message prefix
- **Selective Staging**: Use specific git add patterns instead of `-A`
- **Branch Selection**: Push to specific branches only
- **Notifications**: Add desktop notifications or Slack messages
## Disabling
To temporarily disable auto-commits:
1. Remove or comment out the `sessionEnd` hook in `hooks.json`
2. Or set an environment variable: `export SKIP_AUTO_COMMIT=true`
## Notes
- The hook uses `--no-verify` to avoid triggering pre-commit hooks
- Failed pushes won't block session termination
- Requires appropriate git credentials configured
- Works with both Copilot coding agent and GitHub Copilot CLI
