Autohotkey not able to run command line in git command prompt

So I'm trying to use Autohotkey to run a basic line script: 

F19::
Send git checkout master; git pull; git merge nick; git push; git checkout nick; git merge master;
return

This works in any program but command prompt. I am using a mac keyboard on a windows machine, but have no issues with the F keys. I have this routed to F19. When I hit the key in git's command prompt within SmartGit, I get nothing. I've also tried rerouting the shortcut key to another bind, again with no result.

I am wondering if there is something in my command script that I am calling improperly?

Thank you in advance.

I would think a bash alias would work better in this situation.

alias dostuff="git checkout master && git pull && git merge nick && git push && git checkout nick && git merge master"

EDIT:

You could also make this more flexible by letting it take parameters ie. your branch name by using a function.

dostuff() {
  git checkout master && git pull && git merge $1 && git push && git checkout $1 && git merge master
}

Calling it with dostuff nick
