| alias.*:: |
| Command aliases for the linkgit:git[1] command wrapper - e.g. |
| after defining "alias.last = cat-file commit HEAD", the invocation |
| "git last" is equivalent to "git cat-file commit HEAD". To avoid |
| confusion and troubles with script usage, aliases that |
| hide existing Git commands are ignored. Arguments are split by |
| spaces, the usual shell quoting and escaping is supported. |
| A quote pair or a backslash can be used to quote them. |
| + |
| If the alias expansion is prefixed with an exclamation point, |
| it will be treated as a shell command. For example, defining |
| "alias.new = !gitk --all --not ORIG_HEAD", the invocation |
| "git new" is equivalent to running the shell command |
| "gitk --all --not ORIG_HEAD". Note that shell commands will be |
| executed from the top-level directory of a repository, which may |
| not necessarily be the current directory. |
| `GIT_PREFIX` is set as returned by running 'git rev-parse --show-prefix' |
| from the original current directory. See linkgit:git-rev-parse[1]. |
