title: Use of an exclamation mark in a Git commit message via the command line
body: <p>How do I enter an exclamation point into a Git commit message from the command line?</p>
  
  <p>It is possible to escape the exclamation point with a backslash, but then the backslash ends up in the commit message as well.</p>
  
  <p>I want something like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>git commit -am "Nailed it!"
  </code></pre>
