$ echo abc
$ ls
In a similar way, the alias:
info = "!funInfo(){ git --version; git log
--pretty=oneline -3; }; funInfo"

$ git --version
$ git log --pretty=oneline -3
Because of the semicolons, the alias using the shell function needs to be enclosed in
quotes.
The aliases from
Listing 2-14
The first alias presented at
Listing 2-14
is:
l = log --oneline --abbrev-commit --abbrev=4 -25

called:
$ git l
it will be expanded to:
$ git log --pretty=oneline --abbrev-commit --abbrev=4 -25
Git allows you to pass additional parameters to aliases. Therefore, if you want to
produce a simplified list of revisions by John Doe, call the alias with the
--author
parameter:
