Git alias command for add/commit/push with multiple inputs

Question

I want to have an alias which lets you add a file, commit and push it.

I started off with this:

[alias]
    acp = "!f() { git add $1; }; f"

But whenever I put in an input, I get a file not found error:

fatal: pathspec 'test.txt' did not match any files

Ideally I want to be able to write:

git acp 'myfile.txt' 'my commit message'

I have this working, but I can't make it work with an input for add:

acp2 = "!f() { git add --all; git commit -m \"${1:-commit}\"; git push origin master; }; f"

What is not working when you have an input argument for add? Changing --all to $1 and ${1:-commit} to ${2:-commit} should work fine. — jesosk

[alias]
acp = "!f() { git add \"$1\"; git commit -m \"${2:-commit}\"; git push origin master; }; f"

This should be enough to work with your syntax:

git acp 'myfile.txt' 'my commit message'

I tested this as follows:

$ echo>test
$ git acp test "the message"
[master 9b81eb2] the message
 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+)
 create mode 100644 test

$ cat .git/config
...
[alias]
    acp = "!f() { git add \"$1\"; git commit -m \"${2:-commit}\"; }; f"
$

I still get the same error. The file is definitely in the directory.

Running the same version. I can't even get acp = "!f() { git add \"$1\"; }; f" to work.

And this is in .git/config, and your current working directory is the project root directory?

Yes, that's right. Running the shortened version above without any input doesn't yield anything if that helps.
