通过其他目录中的bash脚本执行git命令

Question

is there a way to execute git commands in a bash script, add the changed files, commit it with a comment then push them to the server where the bash file isn't in the directory of the repository?

this is what I have, and everything works except the commit,

cd /home/repos
git add file.txt

echo "comment: "
read input_varible

git commit -m '$input_varible'
git push origin master

when the commit line executes I get this error,

error: bad index file sha1 signature
fatal: index file corrupt

but when i do everything in the terminal it works fine.

and yes i have tried to reset the indexes by using this command but it doesnt work

    rm -f .git/index
    git reset

I am working on a linux if that helps

Yes this is possible. I am doing it by adding an alias to the script in my ~/.bash_profile file.

Since you're adding an alias, do not forget to reload your terminal. Oh yeah, and you don't need all of the cd /path/to/directory stuff since you need to launch your command inside the repository directory.
