How can I combine these git commands?

Question

I do the following string of commands for git and my fingers are getting tired of typing them. :)

git add .
git commit -m \'Some message\'
git push
cap deploy

You could define a git alias calling a script

Since version 1.5.0, Git supports aliases executing non-git commands, by prefixing the value with "!".
Starting with version 1.5.3, git supports appending the arguments to commands prefixed with "!", too.

Be defining a function within your alias, you can avoid the explicit call to 'sh -c'

[alias]
        publish = "!f() { git add . ; git commit -m \"$1\" ; git push ; cap deploy ; }; f"

or, after the suggestion of Pod in his answer:

[alias]
        publish = "!f() { git commit -a -m \"$1\" ; git push ; cap deploy ; }; f"

(to be tested)
