bash/powershell 中有没有一种方法可以根据上下文在命令中自动包含一个单词？

Question

Currently, when inside git repos, I type git status . Is there any way for my shell to understand this is a git repo and automatically append git to relevant commands?

eg,

# bash example
# before
git status

# after
status # "status" isn't a registered command, but "git status" is, so bash uses the latter

I'd probably only want this enabled when I'm in a repo, but is there any way to get functionality similar to this in any of the popular shells?

I recognize this isn't always preferred or the best idea, but it could save me from typing a word.

This is what aliases were invented for in bash. You'd add a line to your bashrc that looked like this:

alias status='git status'

If you'd like, you could add one for every git subcommand you ran frequently:

alias commit='git commit'
alias checkout='git checkout'
alias add='git add'
alias push='git push'
alias pull='git pull'
alias config='git config'

Your environment is your own, and if you wanna make a shorthand for git commands, you're free to do so!

Also, these aliases will pass any arguments to the underlying command. So if you write:

commit -m "My message"

This will translate to git commit -m "My message" .

These aliases should be added to a file like the .bashrc file in your home directory, if one exists.
