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

Exec replaces the current process, so yes[1].

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

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".

Would it work with "giggity" too?
