Adding new/create & del/delete aliases into git

Hi there Git Community!

I've been using the following aliases for a long time:

del or delete = branch -D
new or create = checkout -b

And I feel these are good candidates as an addition into the core git
API as they provide an easy way for new starters to understand the
creating and deleting of branches - which is arguably one of the most
common git operations.

In comparison, passing in flags for this purpose for new starters to
git, is both hard to remember and not easy or obvious to understand
what is going on.

>From my understanding, these flags were also meant as a shortcut to do
a git branch && git checkout in one operation - effectively being
alias flags anyway.

So I wanted to reach out to find out what appetite there may be out
there to add/change these to be simpler for new starters to git :)

Thanks for considering my proposal and happy to discuss any thoughts!
