When you installed it, `make` changed your global .gitconfig file and added the respective Git aliases to it, so that Git would know what to do and not complain about invalid commands.

This happens on this line of the project's Makefile: https://github.com/arzzen/git-quick-stats/blob/master/Makefi...

Aha. So this is possible because git is designed for these kinds of aliases. I wasn't sure if maybe it was core to Linux or something. Thank you.
