Git is an extremely flexible tool and very simple to extend and build features on. To create a command, you just need an executable named git-command (git dash followed by the command name).

Any executable on the PATH that follows this naming pattern will be called by git. To start with a simple example, let’s do the traditional “hello world”. Save the example below as git-hello in a directory on the PATH.
