False choice.
The more you try and do with git without learning it properly, the more problems you're likely to run into (e.g. by running commands that you don't entirely understand and ending up with nasty side effects). So, I think that it's just plain bad practice to create such macros.
I know how the shell works quite well but that doesn't stop me from writing scripts and aliases.
This boils down to advocating one needs to type by hand sequences of commands instead of defining higher-level scripts that have a cohesive meaning.
