Sure, I'm talking about aliases, so what I meant is that I had [alias] st = status in ~/.gitconfig. > Instead, I use gt-beginning abbreviation for some command frequently used > such as gtci->git-commit, gtco-->git-checkout, gtst-->git-status, > gtdi->git-diff, gtinit->git-init > > So it will be wonderful if I can use "gtinit --bare" You can't without defining gtinit as a simple-but-not-totally-trivial wrapper script. But you can define an alias to init, to enable you to type $ git --bare i (that said, it could be a good idea for "git init" to accept --bare as an option too). -- Matthieu - 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
