Using magit for the most basic add, commit, push

Question

I normally use only a few git commands each time I want to commit changes to a repository:

$ git add --all .
$ git commit -m "update."
$ git push -u origin master

Can magit be useful in this regard? M-x magit-status seems helpful but I am not fulling understanding the language of "staging/unstaging" "hunks" etc. from ref1 ref2 ref3.

What might be the equivalent commands in magit? Thanks in advance -

Edit This page seems to speak better to my level but is C-u s the equivalent of git add --all .? Though that page says it does not work.

Answer 1

• S stages all files
• c c initiates a commit. Write the message and then press C-c C-c to actually create the commit.
• P u pushes to the upstream branch. In the popup that appears after you have pressed P you can see the upstream. If the upstream is not set yet, then you can still use P u. You'll be asked for a branch which is then configured as the upstream before pushing.

Answer 2

This one is also quite easy technique without learning shortcuts of magit by using hydra.

(defhydra yt-hydra/help (:color blue :hint nil)
  "
_mp_ magit-push #_mc_ magit-commit #_md_ magit diff #_mla_ magit diff #_mla_ magit status
"
  ;;Magit part
  ("mp" magit-push)
  ("mc" magit-commit)
  ("md" magit-diff)
  ("mla" magit-log-all)
  ("ms" magit-status)
  )
(global-set-key (kbd "<f1>") 'yt-hydra/help/body)

Answer 3

I just write an easy shell function to help PUSHING ALL.

function lazy-git {
    git add -A
    git commit -a -m "🍁  $1"
    git push
}

lazy-git "Update somethinng"

or in Emacs

(defun push-all (comment)
  (interactive (list
            (read-string (format "🔥 Push for [%s]: " (current-directory-name)))))
  (save-some-buffers t) ; save all buffer
  (shell-command (format "git add -A; git commit -a -m \" %s\"; git push &"
                     comment)))
