this article suggests shell allowed, but git also has a built-in feature for aliases itself. I prefer these as it allows you to keep using the git command normally (more consistent when you tend to use history search/auto-suggestions heavily).

running git config --global alias.st status, for example, will allow you to run git st as an alias for typing out the full git status (you can also manually add aliases to your ~/.gitconfig).

I just prefix all my git aliases with g-. So for status I type g-s<tab>.
