Hi Lewis Butler,

The problem I was trying to solve is given in

https://www.reddit.com/r/git/comments/jdl11c/can_not_use_some_of_my_aliases_with_bare_repo/
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/64416625/can-not-use-some-of-my-aliases-with-bare-repo

let me explain the code you referred to. accept-line widget is invoked
after we press enter in the command line. I replace that with
_check-if-dotfile-command using the following line

zle -N accept-line _check-if-dotfile-command

The code took the command (which is in the  $BUFFER) and replaced it with
another string and then ran accept-line widget. For example any line
starting with `g d stash-and-reset` was replaced with `git d stash && git d
reset --hard HEAD`.


*Thanks and Best Regards,Ahmad Ismail*
