git commit & push is confusing

[dezren39]

i like the idea, but i wish there was some way to say 'i dont care if there is no commit, either dont commit something or commit an empty message and then push' maybe a 'sync' button

It was confusing for me as well, that if there is nothing to commit but to push, that this action fails.

Here, the only way is to deliberately add a new change and press commit&push again

It also shows as failed if nothing is to commit and nothing to push:

This message is annoying, because it is not an error.

My expected behavior would be:

• If there is nothing to commit, say that as a success message and proceed to push
• If there is nothing to push, say that as a success message and exit

maybe it helps to run git diff --cached --exit-code before calling git commit. If it returns a non-zero status, there is something staged but not yet commit.
If git commit is called without anything staged it will return exit code 1 - which is however misleading in this case.

this is fixed in #39

the new Sync action mapped to Ctrl+S handles this correctly
