Run git commands from a C# function

Question

How can my C# code run git commands when it detects changes in tracked file? I am writing a VisualStudio/C# console project for this purpose.

I am new to the the .N

Answer 1

One alternative would be to setup Grunt and TaskRunner with your project.

Grunt should be able to provide the automation of detecting changes to a folder(or folders) in your project and execute the appropriate git commands to commit it.

Task Runner allows you to initialize and run Grunt from within Visual Studio.

The Visual Studio team has indicated that Task Runner is going to become integrated into future releases of Visual Studio, so this could be a long term solution.

Note: It has been mentioned in the comments, but I feel it worth mentioning again that auto-commiting anytime a file is saved to the repository isn't best practice. You want functional / atomic code changes to get pushed in, not simple text changes. Auto-Commit at your own risk.
