Create a new Graphite-tracked branch on top of the current branch, carrying the working-tree changes as a single commit. User input: $ARGUMENTS.

Steps

1. Run git status --short to confirm there are changes to commit. If the tree is clean, ask the user whether they meant to run gt create --onto <branch> (create empty branch on top of another).
2. Run gt ls to show the current stack so the user can confirm where the new branch lands.
3. Build the command:
   • If $ARGUMENTS looks like a commit message (contains spaces or :), use gt create -am "$ARGUMENTS" — Graphite derives the branch name from the message.
   • If $ARGUMENTS is a single token, treat it as a branch name. Ask the user for a commit message, then run: gt create -am "<message>" $ARGUMENTS.
   • If $ARGUMENTS is empty, ask the user for a commit message (or branch name) before proceeding.
4. Run the command and report the new branch and updated gt ls.

Key flags

• -a, --all — stage every modified file (default for this command)
• -m, --message <msg> — commit message (and source of the auto-generated branch name)
• -p, --patch — interactive hunk staging instead of -a
• --insert — insert this branch between the current branch and its children, restacking dependents
• --onto <branch> — create on top of a different branch (useful with worktrees)
• --ai — let Graphite suggest a branch name / message
