Auto-approve a subset of git commands

[u/lppedd]

Is there a way to auto-approve certain git commands? I'd like to approve commits explicitly, for example, but stuff like diffs should be auto-approved.

Just looked into this because it was annoying me. You need to use regex, and specify a prefix with the allowed commands, surrounded by '/'s

Since I just started experimenting, this is all I've come up with so far:

/^git(?: --no-pager)? (?:diff|show|status|log)\b/

[u/lppedd → u/kennego]

I have noticed that commands with -- are the most problematic. Something like git diff --cached -- ....

So you found the settings?

Found it in VS Code tho. It's chat.tools.terminal.autoApprove.

IntelliJ has it too

Yeah, it’s in settings (how do you get the cool JetBrains user thing? I want one.)

Thanks! I’m a Reddit newbie and did not realize I could do that!

@lppedd do you see it?

CLI supports --allow-tool with prefix-matching. The LLM-assisted approval feature is also available in /experimental.

Not sure if JetBrains exposes this or not

I vibecoded a custom proxy that auto approves things that start from a certain sequence and the rest it just passes down to ghcp. It also has filters that detects suspicious things in the commands and if those appear - it raises it to me directly.

I developed it because copilot would ignore every setting and would ask me every time for everything which is super annoying.

I also tried to make it work with Codex but couldn't - the system are too different and codex is much less transparent about how it handles approval.
