You can also achieve the same effect by placing the following in your .gitconfig:
[alias]
git = !git" It's doing it wrong to have to model the state of your editor in your head "
WAT? By that logic you don't know if you are in insert mode half the time, and start typing random characters all over the place.

Never stay in insert mode unless you are typing! Insert mode is a brief experience. itype type type<esc>
"It's ... wrong to have to model the state of your editor in your head."

This just perpetuates the mispronunciation of 'WAT'.
It is properly pronounced deadpan, to rhyme with 'but' (with no h-sound wutsoever).

My reference pronunciation has always been like the word "watt", deadpan, with a blank face while staring into space.
I tend to agree with this, but in the circles I run in where it was used it's also spelled 'wut'. I was a little confused when I first saw it here on HN as 'wat'.
Properly? References? Anyway, who cares, it's funnier to say when you sound it like "cat".

What a silly thing to pretend to have any knowledge over. As if there is a consensus, or any authority by your part on the matter.

Homographs.
Back when I used Visual Studio (1999), I did something similar using Robby the Robot (Warning), Daleks (for errors), the "You have the power" (Compilation successful) chick from RevCo's Gila Copter/Silence of the Lambs, and a Skinny Puppy rift (hitting a breakpoint)...good times!
I bet your co-workers loved you.
All of these wats are wrong.

I have a similar habit of typing "git " in my terminal, and then getting distracted while I think through what I'm trying to do, and then just typing "git " again. Rather than punish myself, I just wrote a script called git-git. https://github.com/jes5199/git-git so I can type "git git git push" and it works.
