commitihag is a tiny command-line utility that helps you remember to commit your dotfiles.

Once per day when starting a new shell, commitihag will check ~/.dotfiles for uncommitted changes.

If the state is dirty, commitihag will gently remind you to commit your changes:

Usage

Just start a new shell.

commitihag will leave you a message you when you need to commit. At most once per day.
