Hi Madhu,

Git is designed as a unix/linux application, so by default it is a programme that does a single requested action and exits. It does not 'hang around'. The latter is a more 'Windows'/GUI style of operation.

It is possible / common for folks to create an alias 'g' as a shortcut to git to reduce the typing, but I'll let you decide if that is for you.

Alternatively look for a git gui programme that tries to continually monitor things in the background, but it may not do exactly what you need.

I find I can cope quite will with the 'git gui' (comes with Git for Windows) and a few commands type direct into the bash command window (the number used builds with time and familiarity).

Hello everyone,

I was wondering if there's a way to avoid having to type the word git at the beginning of every Git command. It would be nice if there was a way to use the git command only once in the beginning after opening a command prompt to get into "Git mode" (after which the commands can be entered without 'git' at the start of the command).

I asked this question in Stackoverflow couple of days ago (link below). There was a huge response. There were many different work around suggestions.
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/56505000/how-do-i-avoid-typing-git-at-the-begining-of-every-git-command

As a web developer using Git Bash on Windows, with no knowledge of Unix shell scripting or C++ or Perl, I couldn't use the work arounds suggested.

I will be nice if there is a built-in feature which helps with this.

I am curious to know whether there is any proposal to add such a feature in the future. If not can this be taken a feature request?

Thank you!

Regards,
Madhu
