Alias for git add, commit and push all together.

As we are developers we love to automate stuff. However, I feel that our use of git is quite a manual process and takes our time. In this article, I am going to discuss how I use alias to help me. Hope this is useful to you.

Alias for add, commit and push

So we all remember the tedious commands for pushing our code to a remote git branch whenever we make any changes to our code we have to use,

git add . //To add all your changes 

git commit -m "my commit" //commit the changes that are made with a message

git push //push the commit to your repo 

It seems like small but it is a very tedious process once you do it over and over again. Thus, comes the following alias to do add, commit and push it all in one command

git config --global alias.cmp '!f() { git add -A && git commit -m "$@" && git push; }; f'

After running this command in your cmd. You can just do the following to add, commit and push your changes.

git cmp "my commit"

Alias for add and commit

However, sometimes we just need to do a local commit.

git add . //To add all your changes 

git commit -m "my commit" //commit the changes that are made with a message

No worries, I am lazy too,

git config --global alias.ac "!git add -A && git commit -m "

After running this command in your cmd. You can just do the following to add and commit your changes.

git ac "my commit"

Thanks for reading, and happy coding!

I am using a Mac with Ventura 13.3.1 and I am using Bash as shell.

I tried writing

ac = '!f() { git add -A && git commit -m "$@" && git push; }; f'

into .gitconfig manually using vim and it did not work.

Then, I tried, with vim again, slight variations of it such as using double quotes instead of single and then escaping them with \. None worked. Finally, I have decided to register the alias exactly as suggested in the article using the git config command and it worked.

Interestingly the version of the alias git config placed into the .gitconfig file was slightly different than the one in the command as well as all those I have tried:

ac = "!f() { git add -A && git commit -m \"$@\" && git push; }; f"

Hope this helps someone else!
