Git alias for fast commit with optional text

This is my git alias configuration in the CONFIG file

[alias]
    cm = "!git add .;git commit -m 'commit';git push origin master"

Instead to use 'commit' for every commit, I would like to specify it with something like:

git cm --'my commit text'

or

git cm 'commit text'

Even better, the argument should be optional, so that I can simply type git cm to just make a commit with the text 'commit', but actually this is not a priority

If you're going to use positional parameters, I would suggest using a function:

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

The ! instructs git to run the command in a subshell. A function f is defined, which uses either the message provided as the first argument or a default of commit. The function is then called.

Use it like git cm "your message here" or just git cm to use the default.
