I have a considerably more insane alias alias that is to my liking:

        # emit an alias if given one, else pretty prints all aliases
        alias       = "! sh -c 'case $# in \
                       0) git config --get-regexp \"^alias\\.\" \
                          | sort | sed \"s/^alias\\.//; s/=/ /\" \
                          | while read n v; do \
                             printf \"%-16s\" \"$n\"; \
                             echo \"$v\" | fmt -sw 63 | sed \"2,$ s/^/\t\t/\" ;\
                          done ;; \
                       1) git config \"alias.$1\" | fmt -sw 78 ;; esac' -"
