I haven't looked into 'git work' yet, but for my own private tweaks,
two mechanisms have sufficed:
* adding a program named git-foo to the $PATH introduces a
'git foo' command. For the git command look and feel, scripts
tend to start with
. "$(git --exec-path)"/git-sh-setup
(see git-sh-setup(1) for details).
* various existing git commands can have their behavior modified
through configuration and hooks.
Does 'git work' require changing the behavior of existing commands,
and if so, are there hooks that could be introduced to help in doing
that?
