"git --help" does show "status" though so I guess it's ok. Yes, I understood this, but given the list of base commands git comes with, if "st" gives "stage" and "stash", it would find it logical to give also "status", by listing commands that starts with 'st' st stage stash status That's what the tab completion does: $ git st<tab> stage stash status Cheers Tarek > -- > Duy > -- Tarek Ziadé | http://ziade.org -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
