In actuality, every autocommand we write is included in an autocommand group. By default, new autocommands are placed in the default group. In fact, when we define a new group, we’re essentially laying out a break from the default group: all of the autocommands declared before our group begins are part of the default group, the ones declared after it begins are part of our group, and the ones declared after our group ends are back to being in the default group. If we’re declaring several related autocommands, it’s a good idea to collect them in our own group.

Like the autoload system, autocommand groups serve a dual purpose. By separating autocommands into groups, we can execute a group’s autocommands specifically. This means that, similar to how we declare functions, we can override previously defined autocommands before we declare new ones. A standard practice in defining autocommand groups is to start by deleting or clearing all previous commands that might be part of the group, like so:
