I am using mac osx, and would like to make a simple bash script for uploading changed files to my github repository.
It should ask for my comments to the files that i'm committing something like:
git add .
git commit -m 'prompt for comments'
git push origin master
I don't know how to make the script, i just want to do it via terminal with a single command.
any help would be much appreciated.
I do know how to make aliases in my .bash_profiles though :-)
Thanks.
You may try:
#!/bin/bash
git add .
read -p "Commit description: " desc
git commit -m "$desc"
git push origin master
Here's a super simple solution that's more generic than bash (more portable):
#!/bin/sh
printf "Commit msg: "
read msg
git commit -am "$msg"
git push origin master
It doesn't do git add to add new files but -a adds tracked files to be staged for commit. This is often what one wants. If you really want to do git add . just add that line and remove the a from options to git commit.
help readand google "bash user input"-moption offcommit, andgit commititself will simply open your preferred editor to enter the commit message. No need to prompt and read it separately.
