Do the exec() tail call?
messe•45m ago
Exec replaces the current process, so yes[1].

[1]: Unless git is doing fork()+exec() and then waiting for the exit code.

Its a weird feeling to see something posted on here and remembering it being posted nearly 10 years ago

I think of this every time I write git git status

sshine•44m ago
I never have this exact problem.

It's rare that my stale prompt has a "git" in it.

Most of my git commands have mnemonic aliases like "gs", "gd", "gl".

I usually have the problem where a stale "ls" or "vim" inhabits the prompt.

I need one called "gits" that accepts a command "tatus".
smgpie•34m ago
And sometimes when I type fast there is "gis tatus"
philipallstar•42m ago
> See what other git alias’ I have

This should be "aliases".

Never had this, but I kinda wanna add the alias just in case now

So this is what people do with their spare time.
docheinestages•39m ago
Would it work with "giggity" too?
tempfile•39m ago
It's amazing the lengths people go to in order to avoid typing more carefully.

“Never make a typo” is not a reasonable expectation for a human user

I recommend also adding this:

   [alias]
     really = !exec git
This solves the common situation where you could’ve sworn you pushed your worl, but colleague can’t find it regardless. You can then `git really push` to be sure.
