Bash Shell scripting - User input

I am new to Shell scripting.

Can anyone tell me what should I do in the script below, so that instead of taking the date/time as a parameter for git commit, it actually prompts me to enter the comment ?

#!/bin/bash

TODAY=$(date)
.............
.............
git commit -m "$TODAY"
............
............
