Overview

Concrete function for automating git stage, commit, and push operations as a post-processing step, provided by the fetch_semantic_info.py script in the Awesome-Inference-Time-Scaling repository.

Description

The git_commit_and_push() function executes three sequential git commands via Python's subprocess.run():

git add . -- stages all changes in the working directory (new files, modifications, and deletions).
git commit -m <message> -- creates a commit with the provided message string.
git push origin master -- pushes the new commit to the master branch on the origin remote.

Each command is run with check=True, which raises a subprocess.CalledProcessError if the command exits with a non-zero status. The function wraps all three commands in a single try/except block, so a failure at any step prevents subsequent steps from executing and prints an error message.

In the main script flow (line 222), this function is called with a hardcoded commit message of "Update".

Usage

Import and call this function after modifying repository files:

from fetch_semantic_info import git_commit_and_push

git_commit_and_push("Add new inference-time scaling papers")

Signature

def git_commit_and_push(commit_message: str) -> None:

Import

from fetch_semantic_info import git_commit_and_push

I/O Contract

Inputs

**Input Contract**
Name	Type	Description
`commit_message`	str	The message to use for the git commit. In the main script flow, this is hardcoded as `"Update"` (line 222).

Outputs

**Output Contract**
Name	Type	Description
Return value	None	The function returns nothing explicitly.
Side effect -- git operations	N/A	Stages all changes, creates a commit, and pushes to `origin/master`. These are persistent side effects on the local and remote git repositories.
Console output -- success	str	Prints `"Commit and push successful!"` when all three commands succeed.
Console output -- failure	str	Prints `"An error occurred during git operations: <error>"` when any `subprocess.CalledProcessError` is caught.

Usage Examples

Example 1: Standard Usage in the Main Script Flow

The function is called at the end of the script after updating the README.

from fetch_semantic_info import search_papers, write_to_readme_in_sorted_order, git_commit_and_push

# Fetch and merge new papers
papers = search_papers("Inference-Time Scaling", limit=1)
if papers:
    write_to_readme_in_sorted_order(papers)

# Commit and push the changes
message = "Update"
git_commit_and_push(message)
# Output on success: "Commit and push successful!"

Example 2: Custom Commit Message

Pass a descriptive commit message instead of the default "Update".

from fetch_semantic_info import git_commit_and_push

git_commit_and_push("Add 3 new papers on chain-of-thought scaling")
# Runs: git add . && git commit -m "Add 3 new papers on chain-of-thought scaling" && git push origin master

Example 3: Handling Failure

If the repository has no changes to commit, the function catches the error gracefully.

from fetch_semantic_info import git_commit_and_push

# If no files were modified, "git commit" will fail with exit code 1
git_commit_and_push("No-op update")
# Output: "An error occurred during git operations: Command '['git', 'commit', '-m', 'No-op update']'
#          returned non-zero exit status 1."

Assumptions:

The script is executed inside an initialized git repository.
A remote named origin is configured.
The target branch is master.
Git credentials (SSH key or token) are available in the environment for push access.
