If suppose my source code file name is "foo.c".
While editing and debugging i always execute this command:-
:!gcc -g foo.c -o foo;gdb foo
Can I add a custom command to Vim such that If i type ":debug" then the above command executes?
How do I achieve that?

Yes. Vim documentation, section 40.2, Command-line mappings:
Put that line in your
~/.vimrc
(minus the inital:
of course) and it will be defined every time you start vim. Also, use%:t
to make reference to the file being edited (writing! gcc %:t
gets replaced by! gcc foo.c
).If you'd only like it to be defined for the one file, or for certain files, you want an autocommand.
