Combined git `continue` command

Question

Variously I might need to run:

• git rebase --continue
• git cherry-pick --continue
• git revert --continue<

Answer 1

Such a command does not exist, to my knowledge. However you could create a script for that, called e.g. git-continue:

#!/usr/bin/env bash

repo_path=$(git rev-parse --git-dir 2>/dev/null)

if [ -d "${repo_path}/rebase-merge" ]; then
    git rebase --continue
elif [ -d "${repo_path}/rebase-apply" ]; then
    git rebase --continue
elif [ -f "${repo_path}/MERGE_HEAD" ]; then
    git merge --continue
elif [ -f "${repo_path}/CHERRY_PICK_HEAD" ]; then
    git cherry-pick --continue
elif [ -f "${repo_path}/REVERT_HEAD" ]; then
    git revert --continue
fi

Put the script somewhere in your $PATH, and then you can use git continue.

Note that there are similar flags like --continue, for example --abort, --skip, --quit, which you might want to cover as well.
