git-config(1) states that you cannot hide existing Git commands. In
other words, aliasing "git stash" to "git stash --keep-index" is not
possible. You could try playing around with the exclamation point
version (e.g. `git config "alias.stash = !git stash --keep-index"`),
but I suspect that Git will still not allow you to hide the existing
command.
If you are willing to switch to a new command, you can fix this
easily. For example, either of these would do what you want whenever
you run `git stsh` (note the missing "a" in "stash") or `git stashki`:
`git config "alias.stsh = stash --keep-index"`
`git config "alias.stashki = stash --keep-index"`
