NPM call bash script with multiple arguments












0















I have created a bash script to automate the git release flow. This script takes one or multiple branch names as argument.



I can call the script in the terminal with: ./releaseGit.sh -b branch1 -b branch2



But I want to use the script with npm. My current package.json contains:



"scripts": {
(other scripts..)
"git-release": "scripts/releaseGit.sh -b $*"
}


But with this configuration I can only pass one branch as argument to the script. How can I change that?



works:



npm run git-release -b only-one-branch


Doesn't work:



npm run git-release -b first-branch -b second-branch

    You need -- when passing arguments - remove the placeholder in scripts and call npm run git-release -- -b first-branch -b second-branch. See the docs.
