[RFC] wip commits

[vrom911]

• No issue numbers
• Pushed to origin

I need this very often, so I usually do:

hit commit -np "WIP"

Would it be useful to have this logic somewhere? I only concerned about how to handle cases with master. I guess we need to somehow create a wip branch, but not sure...

@vrom911 Interesting idea! I like having hit wip command, which does exactly what you described 👍

I agree that the case with master is a bit tricky and worth thinking about 🤔 I see a few options:

• Create <name>/wip branch (as you proposed)
  • Pros: minimal effort, not extra flags required
  • Cons: need to rename later both locally and on GitHub (we currently don't have such a command in hit); can't have multiple different wip commits from master
• Ask the name/issue for the new branch interactively
  • Pros: better branch name immediately, more options for the user
  • Cons: slower, more flags/configuration/actions to do to create a WIP commit

@chshersh , great summary! For me personally the master use case is rarer, as I usually working on a particular issue and want to make a WIP commit. However, for sure the airbag should be in place. I would go for the first option, as I don't usually care about the collision between my wip branches. But the second one is totally legit. So need to think more about each one.
