title: Does the Git version that ships with GitHub not have the alias feature?
body: <p>I recently installed the GitHub desktop app for Windows, which has its own Git version (1.9.5.github.0 in my case). I'm trying to add some aliases to it, but it doesn't work. I tried</p>
  
  <pre><code>git config alias
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>and</p>
  
  <pre><code>git config --global alias
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>to see if the command's available, but the returned message is</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>error: key does not contain a section: alias</p>
  </blockquote>

  <p>Is it missing from GitHub's version of Git? Or did I miss something really obvious?</p>
