What happened
A Hacker News contributor described the common problem of accidentally typing 'git' multiple times in a terminal, leading to an error message. They mentioned that they often type 'git', pause, and then type a full command like 'git status' afterwards, resulting in 'git git status'. The error output is shown. As a potential solution, the author considered overriding the git binary in the PATH to strip leading arguments that match 'git', allowing the intended command to run.
