Great example of premature optimization. Save seconds per day typing "gc" instead of "git commit"

No it's called nesting, and it is the most holy of practices.

Your axe doesnt need to be extra sharp so you can cut one extra tree in a day, it needs to be extra sharp so it feels good to chop down trees.

how is it a premature optimization? what makes it premature? are you waiting for the thing that comes after git and then you're going to optimize? you don't have to add these aliases if you don't want, but git, and it's usage is fairly mature by this point.
