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

For the silver backs in the crowd that are used to things like Subversion... to do a "commit" in the old sense of the word (i.e. -- or in git speak -- to add, commit, and push) in a single step I generally add something like the following in the root of my project (as a bat file in windows e.g. git-commit.bat). Then when I want to add, commit, and push I just type something like git-commit "Added some new stuff" and it all goes to the remote repo.

Also, this way anyone on the project can use the same with out having to change anything locally.

I usually also run git config credential.helper store once so I don't need to give uid/pwd when this is run.
