Multiple git commands in single command executed in order they are encountered by compiler

Question

I have following list of commands that I run in respective order so that a source project can be committed and pushed to the repository on Bitbucket:

git init
git remote add origin https://[BitBucket Username]@bitbucket.org/[BitBucket Username]/[BitBucket Repository Name].git
git config user.name "[BitBucket Username]"
git config user.email "[BitBucket Email ID]"
## if email doesn't work then use below ##
git config --global user.email \<\>
git add *
git commit -m "[Comment]"
git push -u origin master

Now instead of putting each and every line at their respective time and order, I want to know, if there is a possibility that I can chain all these into single git command and maintain the same order, something like below ?

git init remote add origin https://[BitBucket Username]@bitbucket.org/[BitBucket Username]/[BitBucket Repository Name].git  config user.name "[Username]" ....

Or atleast combine multiple same category params like below ?

git config user.name "[BitBucket Username]" user.email "[BitBucket Email ID]"

I need to know possibility of both scenarios with examples.

What do you want to achieve exactly? What is the problem with the line-by-line solution? — Lajos Veres, May 06 '17 at 19:26
Would a shell script in `~/bin` work? Otherwise add a git alias in your user's `~/.gitconfig` file to execute a shell function (IIRC there's samples in the documentation), e.g. http://stackoverflow.com/a/14994923/112968 — knittl, May 06 '17 at 19:27
For Linux shell script is good, but I have gitbash on Windows system and I am not as good with Win batch as with Linux shell. Can you give me a Windows based suggestion ? — Vicky Dev, May 06 '17 at 19:29
With stock `git`, no, you can't. You can, however, create a shell script called `git-whatever` somewhere in the PATH, containing all your commands, using parameters if needed, and thus you could execute `git whatever` (note the lack of the space) — Lasse V. Karlsen, May 06 '17 at 19:32

We can use list off command in single command for example:

git add . && git commit -m "updated pom file" && git push

or:

git stash pop && git add . && git commit -m "updated pom file" && git push

&& -> if 1st command successfully executes then execute next command else it won't execute next command.
& - it executes all the command
|| - execute next command if 1st one failed

This only works on CMD or Git Bash on Windows, not on PowerShell – tbdrz Dec 20 '21 at 18:35

If you are in a Windows shell:

git add . ; git commit -m "Testing one line command" ; git push

I have gitbash on Windows system and I am not as good with Win batch as with Linux shell.

You still can write a bash script (interpreted by the msys2 bash embedded with Git for Windows).
As mentioned in the comments by Lasse V. Karlsen, and as I mentioned before in "Which shell used for git '!' aliases?", you can write a shell script in a file (in your %PATH%) named git-xxx, and call it with git xxx.
That script would begin with:

#!/bin/bash

The following does not work, can I do it? `cmd=('add .' "commit -m $commit"); for elem in ${cmd[@]} ; do; git "$elem" &&; # echo -n "$elem"; done;` it creates a new line for every word in the element array. echo -n can suppress newlines, but does not help because I do not want to echo but run git. – Timo Nov 27 '20 at 20:28
@Timo I would use double quotes consistently, as in https://stackoverflow.com/a/7774197/6309 – VonC Nov 27 '20 at 20:30
