Pass commit message via commandline

[pankajparashar-zz]

Is it possible to pass commit message via command line, while using grunt build control? The option to specify the message in the Gruntfile.js file doesn't suit my requirements.

I would need something that can dynamically use the commit message passed at runtime to commit to the remote repository.

There are a couple of ways we could do this.

Might be able to pass something in with <%= grunt.task.current.args[0] %>.

I think I'd rather add a new commit token that pulls from the main project commit. Like:

Main project commit message:

Did some stuff.

to buildcontrol:
Releasing some stuff I did.

And then in the build control commit message use %fromMain% (blah, need a better name than that) to include everything after to buildcontrol:. Would that work for you?

Yeah! The second option is a more strategic one and would be nice to have the main project commit as I am using this plugin with Yeoman Jekyll generator.

Meanwhile, I'll use the first method, <%= grunt.task.current.args[0] %> as the tactical approach to suffice my needs.

Thank you for the suggestions.
