bash, script to git add one file and commit - bash

Question

I'm trying to create a script to do this:
git add "file"
git commit -m "Comment"
My idea is to run:
gac "file" "Comment"
I know I can do something similar but for all files, with:
echo 'alias gac="/path/to/gitaddcommit.sh"' >> ~/.bash_profile
And the .sh would be:
!/bin/bash
git add .
echo “Enter commit message: “
git commit -am “$commitMessage”

Well you need two things :
A bin folder where you can put every sh script you want to use everywhere.
More knowledge about shell scripting and how you can get argv (in your ex: 'file' 'Comment')
So first go to your /home/<username> then mkdir bin && cd bin && pwd
then copy the pwd and add it into your PATH env variable inside your .bashrc
path example: PATH='/bin/:/sbin/:/home//bin
Then source ~/.bashrc you can now use every sh script inside you bin folder everywhere.
Cool so first problem done !
you don't have to do echo alias gac="/path/to/gitaddcommit.sh"' >> ~/.bash_profile anymore.
Now second problem here a post that can help you post
And let me show you for your example :
cd ~/bin && vi gac.sh
Now the script :
#!/bin/sh
if [ "$#" -ne 2 ]; then
echo "Usage: ./gac FILENAME COMMIT_MESSAGE" >&2
exit 1
fi
git add "$1"
git commit -am "$2"
First we check the number or arg then git add and commit.
Simple and fast maybe checking if arg one is a file might be a good idea too.

Here's what I have in my .bashrc:
ga ()
{
if test "$1" != "-f" && git rev-parse HEAD > /dev/null 2>&1 && ! git diff-index --quiet HEAD; then
echo 'Repo is dirty. -f to force' 1>&2;
return 1;
fi;
git add "$#";
list=$(git diff --name-only --cached | tr \\n \ );
git commit -m "Add $list"
}
The commit message is autogenerated, but you could easily modify it to prompt the user or take it from somewhere else.
