How to push to github with custom commit message with npm scripts?

Question

In my package.json I have this

  "scripts": {
    "start": "gulp serve",
    "git": "git add . && git commit -m 'some-message' && git push --all"
  },

In the terminal I run npm run git and the changes are pushed. But how can I change the commit message on the fly? For example npm run git MESSAGE='another commit'

you need to modify the command in package.json to git commit -m 'some message'. — nevihs

A solution involving some npm trickery might consist of:

"scripts": {
  "git": "git add . && git commit -m",
  "postgit": "git push --all"
},

To be called like:

npm run git -- "Message of the commit"

or:

npm run git -- Message

just to mention that postgit uses a post hook and is always called after the execution of git script
