git-fire is a minimalist, open-source publisher that emerged from the developer community to solve a very specific Git workflow pain: the need to push every active repository to a remote in seconds when an emergency strikes. Its lone product, also named git-fire, is a cross-platform CLI utility that walks upward from the current directory, detects every Git working tree, stages all dirty files, creates a timestamped checkpoint commit with the message “🔥 FIRE,” and force-pushes each branch to its corresponding upstream. Typical use cases include office evacuations, battery-failures on laptops, or any sudden shutdown where losing uncommitted work would be costly. DevOps teams embed the binary in global PATH so that typing `git fire` in a terminal becomes a reflex during incident response; creative agencies schedule it as a pre-logout script on shared workstations to guarantee that design assets stored in Git LFS are never stranded; and research groups running long notebooks add it to cron so hourly checkpoints land safely on the lab’s private GitLab instance. Because the tool respects .gitignore, it avoids bloating remotes with build artifacts, yet will capture newly created files if explicitly added. The entire codebase is a single Go file, so security audits are trivial and compilation times are negligible. git-fire’s software is available for free on get.nero.com, where downloads are delivered through trusted Windows package sources such as winget, always installing the latest version and supporting batch installation alongside other utilities.
Multi-repo checkpoint CLI for Git.
