Git add and commit in one command

Question

Is there any way I can do

git add -A
git commit -m \"commit message\"

in one command?

I seem to be doing those two commands a lot,

Answer 1

Just combine your commands:

git add -A && git commit -m "comment" 

Answer 2

The most simply you can do it is :

git commit -am "Your commit message"

I dont understand why are we making this tricky.

Answer 3

In case someone would like to "add and commit" for a single file, which was my case, I created the script bellow to do just that:

#!/bin/bash

function usage {
    echo "Usage: $(basename $0) <filename> <commit_message>"    
}

function die {
    declare MSG="$@"
    echo -e "$0: Error: $MSG">&2
    exit 1
}

(( "$#" == 2 )) || die "Wrong arguments.\n\n$(usage)"

FILE=$1
COMMIT_MESSAGE=$2

[ -f $FILE ] || die "File $FILE does not exist"

echo -n adding $FILE to git...
git add $FILE || die "git add $FILE has failed."
echo done

echo "commiting $file to git..."
git commit -m "$COMMIT_MESSAGE" || die "git commit has failed."

exit 0

I named it "gitfile.sh" and added it to my $PATH. Then I can run git add and commit for a single file in one command:

gitfile.sh /path/to/file "MY COMMIT MESSAGE"
