Create custom Git commands

Background

For example, I have this alias in my `.zshrc``

1alias git-append="git commit --amend --no-edit -a"

But writing git-append doesn't feel as nice as git append, but we can fix that!

Adding a custom Git command

Thankfully we can define a Git alias in the Git configuration to use git append instead of creating a shell alias. Here’s how you can do it:

1. Run the following command to create a Git alias for append:

   1git config --global alias.append "commit --amend --no-edit -a"

2. Now, you can use the command git append directly.

This works because Git supports creating custom aliases within its configuration, and they are invoked with the git command followed by the alias name.

And this works for any kind of command you want to create too!
