Description

git town recently just moved all our commands to start with git-town- to prevent conflicts with git-extras and hub.

Would be nice if git-extras did something similar where all the commands start with git-extras- and then can be aliased to retain the current functionality. This should help prevent future conflicts with other libraries.

On git-town we also added a small subcommand to add or remove all the basic aliases (skipping any potential conflicts).

Research direction

The issue proposes renaming all git-extras commands with a git-extras- prefix and adding aliases that preserve current usage. Review the repository's existing command entry points and alias behavior first; done means commands avoid conflicts while the current forms continue to work, with conflict-skipping add/remove alias support.
