Subject: Bash completion for git aliases containing nested subcommands
Date: Mon, 03 Oct 2022 11:45:51 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <em8d7ca854-51a3-4cb5-aaf9-30ed37b4194b@acer-switch-tim> (raw)
Hello everyone,
I have set up the following alias in my .gitconfig file:
[alias]
ss = stash show
Unfortunately bash completion does not work correctly on this alias.
When I type "git ss <TAB>", I get:
$ git ss <TAB>
apply clear drop pop show
branch create list push
Which is obviously the completion for "git stash" instead of "git stash
show".
With the original command I get the list of available stashes:
$ git stash show <TAB>
stash@{0} stash@{1}
Is there a way to get the completion on the alias behave like on the
original command?
I am on Ubuntu 20.04 and using the distro's default git completions.
Kind regards,
Tim
