(I have a whole bookmark folder of those).

One of the best features of Git is that if you type "git XXX {args}", it looks for a program named "git-XXX" and runs it with those arguments.

This means you can write your own Git commands.

But, then, before I started using Git, I didn't have much of a reason to *want* to do that....
