Automatically Git Commit and Push Changes on File Save in VS Code

If you do not need to write proper customize commit message, you might want to avoid hassle to write command and message every time to commit and push the changes. This happened to me while I decided to save notes in my GitHub repository.

Fortunately, I found really amazing extension to handle it. Fun fact: I implemented it in my repository and forget how I did it. It took me a few weeks to find out that I used this plugin.
