Subject: Redirect "git" subcommand to itself?
Date: Wed, 27 May 2015 17:28:34 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAGZ79kZHa9wUrRsWfHgGdSdx+cN9VAirAAfu3YLVTuSmggcehg@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

Hi,

so I just run into this problem again (which happens to me maybe twice a week):
I want to do a git operations, so I type "git " into my shell, and
then I look around what
exactly I want to do and usually I find it in the help text of a
previous command such as
    You are currently reverting commit 383c14b.
      (fix conflicts and run "git revert --continue")
      (use "git revert --abort" to cancel the revert operation)

then I copy the whole operation "git revert --abort" in this case and
paste it to the shell
and let go.
The result looks like
    $ git git revert --abort
    git: 'git' is not a git command. See 'git --help'.

    Did you mean this?
    init

I wonder if we want to make a "git" subcommand, which behaves exactly
the same as git itself?
Then "git git git status" would just return the same as "git status".

Thanks,
Stefan
