How can I use keyboard shortcuts to do a git commit and push from IntelliJ IDEA?

Question

I'm aware that Cmd+K (on macOS) will bring up the Git commit dialog, but I can't figure out how to do a commit and then a push without switching to my mouse.

Can anyone provide any guidance here?

For me (windows) I can use Ctrl+K, type commit message, Alt+P, enter, and then enter to push. Alt+P is to access the "Commit and Push" option of the commit changes dialog. Perhaps try that? – Weymouth

Ah, I thought I had experimented with "Alt" to trigger those keys, but I guess not. Thank you! – Gangue

Answer 1

On Windows, Alt+P acts as an accelerator for the "Commit and Push" commit button option. On Mac it is CmdOptionP.

Another option is to just do the commit from the commit dialog using the default "commit" option. Then when it is done open the VCS Quick Menu (AltBackquote (`) for windows; Ctrl+V on Mac) and then do the push from there, either by number or narrowing down via inline search for "push"

Sorry for the cross post with @Kyptic's comment. I started typing this up before he posted, but got side-tracked in an IM chat, then came back to post. – Bechuanaland

That's ok, your answer is more elaborate and nicely formatted. I'll upvote his comment also. – Gangue

Answer 2

In the commit dialogue, press optionshiftreturn to bring up the options, and return to commit.

After analyzing all these answers above, I wasn't satisfied and I found following solution:

1. Open commit dialog Cmd + K.
2. Type your commit message.
3. Switch to commit button Tab
4. Press button Space
