Sure, I'm talking about aliases, so what I meant is that I had
[alias]
	st = status
in ~/.gitconfig.

You can't without defining gtinit as a simple-but-not-totally-trivial wrapper script.

But you can define an alias to init, to enable you to type
$ git --bare i

(that said, it could be a good idea for "git init" to accept --bare as an option too).
