Use of apostrophe (single-quote) in a Git commit message via command line [duplicate]

Answer 1

Use double quotes:

git commit -m "cracked enigma's code"

Or, if your message contains other special characters, use double quotes or backslash only for the single quote:

git commit -m 'cracked $enigma'"'"'s code'
git commit -m 'cracked $enigma'\''s code'
