Can a git alias be expanded like a bash alias?

Question

If I set the alias alias gf='git fetch --prune'

I can enter it into my command line $ gf and by typing <ESC> <C-e> it will expand into $ git fetch --prune

If I set the git alias git config --global alias.f fetch --prune and type $ git f does git offer a way of expanding this alias?

From what I can tell the only way to know what $ git f will do when executed is by inspecting git's config beforehand.

Not really, considering git aliases can also include shell expansion definition aliases with positional parameters like "!f() { echo \"$1\" >> .gitignore; }; f"..

And that would be tricky to expand on the shell level.
