Any way to ignore unknown commands?

Click v7.0

I'm trying to write a wrapper for git for my own purposes. I'm new to using click, so correct me if I'm doing this the wrong way.

My goal is to have special sub commands do specific functionalities, and if the argument is not a special sub command, default to running git with the given arguments.

I have something like this

import click

@click.group(
    invoke_without_command=True,
    context_settings = {'ignore_unknown_options': True, 'allow_extra_args': True}
)
@click.pass_context
def cli(ctx):
    if not ctx.invoked_subcommand:
        # run git with given arguments instead
        ...

@cli.command()
def special_command():
    # do some special functionality

What I want is when I run the cli with arguments/commands that isn't the special command, to run git with those arguments. But the cli gives me a Error: No such command ... if I give it any command other than the special command. Is this possible? Or am I doing this the wrong way?

I also want to add that I'm running this through setuptools and the entry point is cli

Example: My git wrapper is called cli

cli special_command will run the special command

cli status will run git status

Maybe you could so something with nargs like this?
Anything that needs to be in your special command comes first and gets captured by click, everything else is sent to git.

import click
import subprocess

@click.group(
    invoke_without_command=True,
    context_settings = {'ignore_unknown_options': True, 'allow_extra_args': True}
)
@click.pass_context
@click.option('-spec', '--special', is_flag=True, help='Enables bonus feature')
@click.argument('git', nargs=-1)
def cli(ctx, special, git):
    print(special)
    if special:
        # do some processing
        print("doing some processing")
    subprocess.run(git)

if __name__ == "__main__":
    cli()
