I'm working on a long document in a single-file git repository (I know there are probably better solutions). What I'd like to do is have a single command that prompts me for a git commit message, and then commits. The in-Emacs equivalent of: git commit -a -m "(read-string \"Commit message: \")" Yes, I could probably write a shell script, but I'd like to do it in Emacs! The vc-* commands don't provide an immediately-obvious way to do this. I have magit and projectile installed, and would be happy to use their commands, but again haven't found anything obvious. I'll write something myself, but does anyone have a nice foundation for building this on? Free beers in return... E
