This repository provides a tab-completion script to be used in a csh or tcsh shell. For reasons unknown, my past two jobs used tcsh by default. Importantly, this script can be used to discover and complete custom git sub-commands if they are installed into the same directory as the completion script (it could be updated to scan all locations on $PATH but I decided to avoid this for performance).
Although the completion is for tcsh, you may notice the script itself is implemented in bash. This was for sanity.
Copy the two scripts to a desired location then add the following to your ~/.tcshrc or other shell initializer:
source /path/to/init.sh
To verify it is working, open a new shell, navigate to any git repository, type "git " and press tab. You should see your shell list git sub-commands.
The script can be used to autocomplete the following built-in sub-commands and subsequent arguments/options:
- add
- bisect
- blame
- branch
- checkout
- clone
- commit
- config
- diff
- difftool
- fetch
- grep
- gui
- init
- log
- merge
- mv
- pull
- push
- rebase
- remote
- reset
- rm
- show
- stash
- status
- tag
Depending on the sub-command the following can be completed:
- filesystem tokens
- local branch names
- remote branch names
- remote names
- tag names
- commit SHAs
- options
