It would be nice if one could add specific git aliases to the team menu. i have several aliases defined that i have to execute on the commandline in order to fulfill our workflow - it would be nice if i could add them to the team menu.

Reproducible: Always

EGit does not use the command-line git client. It uses JGit, which is a pure Java implementation of Git. Supporting aliases is not something which would be easy to do (without calling out to a shell), so it's currently not planned.

You could use the "External Tools" support provided by Eclipse and create a custom launcher to run the alias.
