I need one called "gits" that accepts a command "tatus".

And sometimes when I type fast there is "gis tatus"

I’m a bad typist, so it’s ‘hoy’ for me.

The exec matters here. Without it each extra git would stack another shell process.

It's amazing the lengths people go to in order to avoid typing more carefully.

“Never make a typo” is not a reasonable expectation for a human user

Of course, it would be. Let me know if you see someone with that expectation!

You when you said that people should type more carefully instead of making tools to prevent mistakes
