g as function or alias

[aaronjensen]

I use g as a function that calls git and I'd like this to apply to that. It wasn't clear what I would need to tweak to make it work. Could you allow for an optional set of commands that this enables for? Thanks!

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll think about it.

If you happen to use zsh, you can work around it by adding

magic-abbrev-expand() {
    local MATCH
    # alias is at beginning of prompt (and possibly preceded by spaces)
    if [[ "$LBUFFER" =~ "^\s*g$" ]]; then
        LBUFFER+="it"
    fi
}
_space_magic-abbrev-expand() {
    magic-abbrev-expand
    zle self-insert
}
zle -N _space_magic-abbrev-expand
bindkey -e ' ' _space_magic-abbrev-expand
# bindkey -v ' ' _space_magic-abbrev-expand
bindkey -M isearch ' ' self-insert

_enter_magic-abbrev-expand() {
    magic-abbrev-expand
    zle accept-line
}
zle -N _enter_magic-abbrev-expand
bindkey -e "^M" _enter_magic-abbrev-expand
# bindkey -v "^M" _enter_magic-abbrev-expand
bindkey -a "^M" _enter_magic-abbrev-expand
bindkey -M isearch "^M" accept-line

to your ~/.zshrc. This assumes emacs keybindings.
