Are these the best definitions of those shortcuts? It seems[1] that some
people define "ci" as "commit -a", and some people define "st" as
"status -s" or even "status -sb".
You are making things more consistent for people who already define
those aliases in the same way (they are available everywhere, even if
they have not moved their config to a new installation), but less so for
people who define them differently. Rather than get an obvious:
git: 'co' is not a git command. See 'git --help'.
the result will be subtly different (especially so in the case of
"commit" versus "commit -a").
