Here's the workflow I use with this:

1. Make and commit changes
2. Before pushing, run git babysit. Uncommitted changes don't show up in the diff in git babysit so ensure all the things you want to push are already committed for best results.
3. If you can answer yes to all the questions, you are good to go. At the end, git babysit will offer to push for you.
