How can I redirect/catch the "git" command and do some things before the real git command?

actually I am writing this function linked in my zshrc:

function mgit {
  string='github'
  remote=$(git remote -v)
  if [[ ${remote} == *${string}* ]]; then
    git config --global user.name "name1"
    git config --global user.email "[email protected]"
  else
    git config --global user.name "name2"
    git config --global user.email "[email protected]"
  fi
  git "$@"
}

This works fine if I now execute mgit --version instead git --version.

But is there a way to catch the real git command and execute this function?
Because now i cant use my aliases e.g. ga for git add ....
And is it then possible with all commands like docker or something else?

Yes. Just call your function git and use command git to call the "real" git:

git() {
  echo "Do some things"
  command git "$@"
}

Example:

% git --version
Do some things
git version 2.19.2
