I have these 2 aliases:

ctt = "!f() { $(git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD) -ne 'develop' && git tag -a testing-$(git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD)-$(date +'%Y%m%d')-$1 -m '$2' && git push --tags; }; f" cpt = "!f() { [ "$(git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD)" = "develop" ] && git tag -a production-$1-$(date +'%Y%m%d')-$2 -m '$3' && git push --tags; }; f"

So that I can do:

git ctt BranchName rc1 "Trying to add XYZ feature" to create tag testing-BranchName-20240229-rc1

git cpt FeatureName r1 "XYZ feature release" to create tag production-FeatureName-20240229-r1

I wanted ctt to only work on branches that are not develop and cpt to only work on develop so I added the condition but I get the error:

cpt_test = "!f() { [ "$(git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD)" = "develop" ] && echo production-$1-$(date +'%Y%m%d')-$2 }; f" 
fatal: bad config line 21 in file C:/Users/david/.gitconfig

I've tried escaping quotes, adding \ to make it multiline and see if I had any error but nothing I've tried works.

I'm on Windows 11, git version 2.39.2.windows.1

Try

cpt = "!f() { if [[ \"$(git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD)\" = develop ]];then echo production-$1-$(date +'%Y%m%d')-$2;fi }; f"

I'm not quite sure what the cause is in your version. This modified version can work in git-bash.

Note that it's not a valid alias name if it contains _. So, rename it. The shell function part needs modification too.

It would be easier to write the function in ~/.bashrc or other similar files and call it in the alias.

In the configuration file,

[alias] cpt = "!f() { if [[ \"$(git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD)\" = develop ]];then echo production-$1-$(date +'%Y%m%d')-$2;fi }; f"

Sadly does not work for me. fatal: bad config line 21 in file C:/Users/david/.gitconfig, I didn't know you could use .bashrc on windows, I'll try that
@Daviid I use git-bash, not CMD or PowerShell. ~/.bashrc works in git-bash.
@Daviid My bad. When I tested it, I use the alias name cpt instead of cpt_test. When I answered and commented, I simply replace cpt with cpt_test and thought it didn't matter. It turns out that the alias name cannot have _ in it. I've updated my answer.
Seems like - are okay
@Daviid I tried this on an Ubuntu machine with vi as the editor. vi turns the color of the variable from cyan to white when an underscore is appended, which indicates the variable is not valid. However, invalid underscore in a configuration variable is not mentioned in the manual of git config.
