alias g to git in .gitconfig?

From: Rob Sanheim <hidden>
Date: 2016-06-15 22:45:26

This is pretty trivial, but I'm a lazy typist.

Is it possible to alias 'g' to git via git config, instead of via
bash?  If I do a plain bash alias then none of the nice autocompletion
from git-contrib work with 'g'.

No, you'll need to alias 'g' to git in bash, and then if you still
want completion you'll need to also register the compgen to call
_git completion routine.  Its two lines:

	alias g=git
	complete -o default -o nospace -F _git g

Actually it's not enough, you need to teach fetch, pull and push to
recognise the new alias too, as in this patch.  I do wonder if there's
a better approach to those functions however, so that the "obvious"
fix suggested by Shawn would work.

[PATCH] bash: remove fetch, push, pull dashed form leftovers

From: SZEDER Gábor <hidden>
Date: 2016-06-15 22:45:26

We don't provide complation for git-commands in dashed form anymore,
so there is no need to keep those cases.

Maybe something like this?

That's indeed much simpler and better.  FWIW,
