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].
