The frame below runs the same code as this page, in the reader's own browser. Nothing is sent to us, and nothing is sent to you.

Pick a dark background and the text and panels follow it, so the frame stays readable on a dark page.

Preview

How it works

Selected operation, flags, paths, and message text are shell-quoted and assembled into a command preview. The builder emits text only and does not run against a repository.

  • Porcelain commands suit routine workflows.
  • The preview makes option order and destructive operations visible.

Worked example

Stage files and commit
Build a command to stage specific files and commit with a message
Input
											Action: commit
Files: src/auth.ts src/login.ts
Message: add OAuth2 login flow
Output
												git add src/auth.ts src/login.ts && git commit -m "add OAuth2 login flow"

When to use this

Runbooks, teaching examples, and CI templates build Git commands.

Edge cases

  • Paths with spaces must remain one quoted argument.
  • A leading dash in a path needs --.
  • A syntactically valid reset or clean command can still delete work.
