I'd like to create an alias 'atag' that creates an annotated tag with the message being the same as the tag. Usually I create annotated tags like this: $ git tag -a -m "mytag" mytag (BTW: It's not documented, but I have the impression that the '-a' switch is implicitely added when the '-m' switch is present. Is that true?) I'd like to have an alias like this: [alias] atag = tag -a -m "$1" So that I can simply call $ git atag mytag Is it possible to pass parameters to the alias definition? With the definition above I got a tag with message "$1".atag = !git tag -a -m "$1" j.
Thanks for the quick reply. Did you try that out? I did $ git atag foo with your definition and got a tag with message "$1" and the tag's name was "'foo'" (surrounded by single quotes). If you tried it and it worked (with linux), then it might be a problem with my environment: I'm using Git with windows and the bash (Git-1.5.4-preview20080202.exe). Usually that works very good, but sometimes it doesn't. Probably this is one of the few "it doesn't" things.
