Subject: Re: [PATCH] Add shell completion for git remote rm
Date: Fri, 29 Dec 2017 15:19:47 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20171229231947.GA7698@bryant.local> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20171229224825.31062-1-szeder.dev@gmail.com>
The goal of this fix isn't to complete rm itself (although that is a
side effect), it's to complete the remote names after you type rm.
Without this patch doing this:
git remote rm <TAB>
Attempts to complete the options for `git remote` instead of the remote
names.
