-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].
