gitwatch: Automatically commit changes and push them to a specific branch of a remote repository.
$ gitwatch -r ${remote_name} -b ${branch_name} ${filename_or_directory}
try on your machine

The command gitwatch is not a standard Git command, so its behavior might vary depending on the implementation. However, based on the provided command, we can make some assumptions.

Assuming gitwatch is a custom command or a command provided by a Git extension, the command's purpose is likely to watch for changes in a specific file or directory within a Git repository and automatically push those changes to a remote repository.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • gitwatch: The command to execute the Git watching functionality.
  • -r ${remote_name}: Specifies the remote repository to which the changes will be pushed. ${remote_name} is a placeholder representing the actual name of the remote repository, such as "origin" or "upstream."
  • -b ${branch_name}: Indicates the branch in the remote repository where the changes will be pushed. ${branch_name} is a placeholder representing the actual branch name, such as "master" or "develop."
  • ${filename_or_directory}: Specifies the file or directory that will be watched for changes. ${filename_or_directory} is a placeholder representing the actual name of the file or directory.

Overall, this gitwatch command seems to automate the process of pushing changes from a local Git repository to a specific remote repository and branch whenever there are changes to a particular file or directory.
