Use of apostrophe (single-quote) in a Git commit message via command line [duplicate]
There is no need to escape the ' character if your commit is double quoted.
git commit -m "cracked enigma's code"EDIT: Anyway, when you have some special characters to add in the commit message I prefer to edit in a editor (like nano or vim), commiting without the -m option.
git commitAnd then put the message and exit. It's more confortable instead of thinking how you have to escape all those quotes and double quotes.
