Question

I typically run the following commands to deploy a particular app:

compass compile -e production --force
git add .
git commit -m "Some message"
git push
git push production master

How can I wrap that up into a single command?

I’d need to be able to customize the commit message. So the command might look something like:

deploy -m "Some message"

There are two possibilities:

• a script, as others answered

• a function, defined in your .bash_profile:

  deploy() {
      compass compile -e production --force &&
      git add . &&
      git commit -m "$@" &&
      git push &&
      git push production master
  }
  

Without arguments, you’d have a third option, namely an alias:

alias deploy="compass compile -e production --force &&
              git add . &&
              git commit -m 'Dumb message' &&
              git push &&
              git push production master"
