I have created a function in .zshrc:

function gc {
    git commit -m $1
}

but when I am trying to call this function:

gc "some commit message"

I get:

error: pathspec 'some commit message' did not match any file(s) known to git

what have I done wrong?

Put double quotes around `$1`. See https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/68748/ – Devon Aug 03 '20 at 08:06
@Devon - still not working, I get the same error... – hc0re Aug 03 '20 at 08:26

@Devon In zsh this only makes a difference when`$1` is empty. – Gilles 'SO- stop being evil' Aug 03 '20 at 09:38
That code alone works (except when `$1` is empty). Are you sure you don't have a stale alias or a stale definition of the function? – Gilles 'SO- stop being evil' Aug 03 '20 at 09:39

I'd suggest you try again after setting the `xtrace` option (`(set -o xtrace; gc "some commit message")`) to better see what's going on. – Stéphane Chazelas Aug 03 '20 at 14:42
