I need one called "gits" that accepts a command "tatus".
And sometimes when I type fast there is "gis tatus"
I’m a bad typist, so it’s ‘hoy’ for me.
I never have this exact problem.
It's rare that my stale prompt has a "git" in it.
Most of my git commands have mnemonic aliases like "gs", "gd", "gl".
I usually have the problem where a stale "ls" or "vim" inhabits the prompt.
Weirdly specific issue exclusive to the author.
I recommend also adding this:
[alias] really = !exec git
Its a weird feeling to see something posted on here and remembering it being posted nearly 10 years ago
I think of this every time I write git git status
Buffalo Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo?
Never had this, but I kinda wanna add the alias just in case now
> See what other git alias’ I have
This should be "aliases".
Would it work with "giggity" too?
Do the exec() tail call?
Exec replaces the current process, so yes[1].
[1]: Unless git is doing fork()+exec() and then waiting for the exit code.
It's amazing the lengths people go to in order to avoid typing more carefully.
“Never make a typo” is not a reasonable expectation for a human user
Of course, it would be. Let me know if you see someone with that expectation!
The exec matters here. Without it each extra git would stack another shell process.
So this is what people do with their spare time.

This solves the common situation where you could’ve sworn you pushed your worl, but colleague can’t find it regardless. You can then `git really push` to be sure.Its a weird feeling to see something posted on here and remembering it being posted nearly 10 years ago
