This article discussed two methods that you can use to add, commit, and push files to a remote repository with a single command. When making small changes to a single file, you still need to follow the three-stage process of publishing changes to a remote repository.

Fortunately, you can create a command to add, commit, and push your changes to a remote repository.

git add, git commit, and git push in one command

There are two ways to do this.

Creating Bash Functions

We can create a Bash function to add, commit and push local changes to the remote repository. This function should be stored in the .bashrc file.

The .bashrc file is simply a shell script that defines the configuration for your terminal session.

This file is usually located in your home directory. Your home directory is the directory you start Git Bash from.

If you don’t have a .bashrc file, start Bash and create one using the command below.

$ touch ~/.bashrc

Like .gitconfig file, **.bashrc** is a hidden file. Run the following command to add the function to .bashrc file.

$ notepad ~/.bashrc

This command will open the file in Notepad and you can add the function as shown below.

function acp() {
    git add .
    git commit -m "$1"
    git push origin HEAD
}

git commitThe "**$1**" in the will allow you to provide a custom commit message when running the acp command.

You can give your function any name. Save the file and run the following command to activate the function.

$ source ~/.bashrc

请注意, newer Git versions --loginstart with . In this case, Git only reads the bash_profile file.

As a result, Git will not recognize your .bashrc file. To fix this issue, run the following command.

$ if [ -f ~/.bashrc ]; then . ~/.bashrc; fi

Git will now read your .bashrc file. We can use acp to add, commit, and push changes to the remote in one command as shown below.

$ acp "Update README.md"

This will add, commit, and push our changes to the remote.

$ Lazygit "Update README.md"

Creating an Alias

As shown in the following figure, we can create an alias to add, commit, and push changes to the remote repository.

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

You can give your alias anything you want.

Note that the git commit“ ” in the alias $@will allow us to provide a custom commit message when using the alias on the command line.

Since we named our alias lazygit, we would run:

$ git lazygit "Update LICENSE.md"

You can add, commit, and push a command by creating a Bash function or by creating an alias for your .bashrc file. We have seen how to create both by adding the option to customize the commit message.
