In order to make uploading the code to github easily, I created a sh script

#commit.sh git add . git commit -m $1 git push origin master 

But when I run it by saying ./commit.sh "comment1 comment2 comment3" , I get the error of:

error: pathspec 'comment2' did not match any file(s) known to git. error: pathspec 'comment3' did not match any file(s) known to git. 

What's wrong and how do I make it work?

Always quote your variables! Change it to

git commit -m "$1" 

and then

./commit.sh "comment1 comment2 comment3" 

will work.

You could combine several commands in one line.

git add . && git commit -m "Your commit message" && git push origin master 

which is a nice line to use as a command:

gitpush() { git add . && git commit -m "$1" && git push origin master } 

If you place that command in your .bash_aliases file, you can use it as follows:

gitpush "finally fixed that long-standing bug" 

This command will work when every step of it works.
