How can I change the prefix of any commit command?

Is there a way to set a global setting for git where you can specify it to to do particular prefix before every time I do something?

Say whenever I am commiting anything, I want to set a global setting in git where -S would be executed every time I commit anything. Is there a way to do this? If yes, how?

You can't generally change the default options for a command.

In many cases - including your example, and a lot of the cases where it makes sense to want to change the default behavior of a command - you can set options in git config. It's not one general option to modify the command line, which seems to be what you're asking; but rather for any given behavior, there is likely a config option that sets that behavior specifically. See the git config docs for a list of available options.

Also, you can generally create aliases (see git alias) to make them equivalent to a command with particular options.

You can do this 

git config --global --add commit.gpgSign true

or in ~/.gitconfig

[commit]
  gpgSign = true

Refer man git-config for other useful variables that you can utilise.

It is not possible to override a built in command, and not possible set default arguments for them either. However, for this specific case, you can easily create an alias In your ~/.gitconfig

Add something like this:

[alias]
commits = commit -s

should do it.

Which you would then use like this:

git commits
