How would i go about installing this on Cygwin / Windows?

https://github.com/bobthecow/git-flow-completion/wiki/Update-Zsh-git-completion-module

Replace /usr/share/zsh/x.x.xx/functions/_git

In newer versions of OSX this file is restricted

Issue ls -lO /usr/share/zsh/x.x.xx/functions/_git

(capital letter 'oh', not zero);

if you see restricted, SIP is protecting that directory tree.

Solution (from the linked answer):

boot into recovery mode (Command-R during boot)
In terminal, issue crsutil disable
Reboot to normal mode. You should see that SIP is no longer blocking write access.
If you later want to restore SIP, just use crsutil enable in recovery mode.

I tried to install bash-completion and got weird linker errors:

The rest of the "contrib" folder has been copied to:
/usr/local/Cellar/git/1.7.4.1/share/contrib
Error: The linking step did not complete successfully
The package built, but is not symlinked into /usr/local
You can try again using `brew link git'
Error: File exists - /usr/local/etc/bash_completion.d

If I install git first and then install bash-completion everything works happy dandy. If I do it the other way around I get the same problem with git as with bash-completion.

I'm getting sed: RE error: illegal byte sequence error with the recent changes.

Here are my specs:
Homebrew 1.6.3
Homebrew/homebrew-core (git revision 85d254; last commit 2018-05-08)
git version 2.17.0

It got broken after upgrading the git I guess. I'm not sure what specifically broke it after upgrading brew formulas, I'm getting this error.

I'm not sure it is reproducible or not but my understanding that one of the regular expressions in the bash_completion is not correct. I had no time to dive into. If I find some time, I will let you know my findings

I made a push a moment ago using "git push origin xxx" in command line,then if I want to push again, I like to use "Ctrl + R(reverse-i-search) " to get the push history. When I find it ,however, if I press "Tab", the command will be "git push push origin xxx",so I need to clear the repeated 'push' to make a success push!
Have a look,guys,thank you~
BRs.

Stop working in macOS Catalina

Everything is intact as I used the migration assistant, unless there is a requirement for Xcode command line tools or something of that nature? I installed this through Homebrew and it was working fine on my initial computer (running Mac OS 10.9.5) but ceases to work with my new machine (same OS version). Some help would be greatly appreciated.

Please update the Install Bash git completion guide for macOS High Sierra using Homebrew.

We need to add the following lines to .bash_profile for it to work:

[ -f /usr/local/etc/bash_completion ] && . /usr/local/etc/bash_completion

This can be found using the brew info bash-completion command.

Alright ZSH fans: Bash completion is finished for 0.4. It's in the dev branch, the release is waiting on you. Who's gonna update ZSH completion so I can release this bad boy? I'd do it but I know next to nothing about ZSH :)

Hi,

On the documentation for Ubuntu, you tell it to install the git-core package: but it is not mandatory to works out.

You can modify the documentation, like:

sudo apt-get install git bash-completion

I tried and all is working on my Ubuntu 14.04 LTS

Thanks in advance.

Just some sample terminal stuff.

My ENV

MacOS High Sierra
Git version 2.18.0

There is No '/etc/bash_completion.d/git-completion.bash' after executing 'brew install git bash-completion' on my MacBook.

Instead I add the following line to my ~/.bash_profile:
[ -f /usr/local/etc/bash_completion ] && . /usr/local/etc/bash_completion

In a fresh Ubuntu 16.04 machine and after installing git, bash-completion and as described in the instructions, I'm not able to make git completion works. I used to have an Ubuntu 14.04 and worked fine.

Is it a known issue?

I just upgraded my OSX and the autocomplete just doesn't work anymore (i hit tab, and i get a list of files in that folder, but not the git-flow commands)

any hint?

Hi,

We have created an organization to gather people hacking around Zsh on Github, and a project for completion scripts.

I was wondering if you would agree to contribute your scripts to the project or allow us to include them ? If this is OK for you I can grant you full rights on the project.

Cheers :)

i'm use the msysgit, how do install?

The script is missing completion for the support branch type of git flow.

I was following the helpful instructions provided here:

#46 (comment)

However, afterwards, I got the following appearing in my shell:

git flowUnknown option: --list-cmds=list-mainporcelain,others,nohelpers,alias,list-complete,config
usage: git [--version] [--help] [-C <path>] [-c name=value]
           [--exec-path[=<path>]] [--html-path] [--man-path] [--info-path]
           [-p | --paginate | --no-pager] [--no-replace-objects] [--bare]
           [--git-dir=<path>] [--work-tree=<path>] [--namespace=<name>]
           <command> [<args>]

I then discovered on StackExchange that it was because the master version of git-completion.bash I had downloaded was too recent for my built-in version of git:

https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/327817/git-completion-bash-producing-error-on-macos-sierra-10-12-6

Solution

I found out what my version of git was:

$ git --version
git version 2.10.1 (Apple Git-78)

And then I downloaded the corresponding git-completion.bash version, e.g.:

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/git/git/v2.10.1/contrib/completion/git-completion.bash

It works for me now (:

git-flow-completion misses some subcommands for hotfix:

git flow hotfix 
-> finish   help     list     start    

git flow hotfix help 
usage: git flow hotfix [list] [-v]
   git flow hotfix start [-F] <version> [<base>]
   git flow hotfix finish [-Fsumpk] <version>
   git flow hotfix publish <version>
   git flow hotfix track <version>

if I want to publish a new branch, I get this error:

 sh: command substitution: line 1: `comm -23 <(__git_flow_list_branches 'feature') <(__git_flow_list_remote_branches 'feature')'

After publishing everything is fine and I assume, that there's a problem with the not yet published branch :)

Hello,
I'm using git on windows :
version : 1.7.6.msysgit.0
windows xp sp3

I managed to install git-flow-completion in the bash by putting the file to my home directory and editing .bashrc

When I use the auto completion with "git flow feature finish" + tab, it's working (ther with only 2 features opened : toto and tata) :
$ git flow feature finish t
tata toto

I defined alias in .gitconfig :
ffs = flow feature start
fff = flow feature finish

When I use the autocompletion with the alias, here is what happens :
$ git fff
feature help hotfix init release version

I have the same result as when using git flow + tab :
$ git flow
feature help hotfix init release version

If you need more info on my config, just ask.

Regards,

Mathieu

Hello there,

The following is more a note for future user, who will as me encounter a completion problem with oh-my-zsh, your plugin and other completion plugin as gitfast, than a real issue.

First a bit of context:
I'm using WSL with ubuntu 20.04
My shell is ZSH tuned by oh-my-zsh

I followed this part of the install how to: iii

And important I'm using gitfast and want to add git-flow-completion features!

Today I tried this plugin on my ubuntu 20.04 and had to search for a few hours why it did not work!
So first since ubuntu 18.04 the official repositories are offering git-flow AVH

• You can use the following command to see which flavor you have.

git flow version

For me it answered: 1.12.3 (AVH Edition)

But I just saw this option and of course, I did not check for incompatibilities about this plugin and git-flow AVH, will do tomorrow thought, and for me it did not work...

Then I'm using gitfast plugin, and that I tested it, there is something that is not compatible with the git-flow-completion plugin as when trying to use git flow in[tab] like this problem:

• Only a list of files that matched the in* pattern in the directory (as mentioned here)

Then I search in all the 400+ Fork if someone corrected this issue and I found the PR of lhernanz
So I selected the most recents changed from all the fork to avoid beeing to far away from the last release, if zsh or oh-my-zsh decided to change something, so I forked wizard-28 fork who applied a change 4 month ago and then apply the patch from lhernanz PR.
After a reload of my terminal (exec zsh) all worked well \o/

Now, well next week-end, all I need to do is compare with the other 400 whitch one got the more complete plugin and apply the lhernanz patch again xD

After following the steps here for adding git_completion to Mac, when I type "git checkout mm-" and press tab, I see all the branches that ever started with mm-, including the ones I have deleted. Is this expected? Would be nice if completion would only work for the branches that show up when I do "git branch".

I also see other people's branches and I'd prefer not to, but that's not as much of an issue since we prefix our branch names with a personal identifier (mm- for me)

The link in the wiki page, to the _git binary on sourceforge, gives me a 404. Just thought you might want to know.

I'm looking into installing the ZSH completion system-wide, in such a way that it would just work, out of t he box, like the completions that come with stock ZSH, without the need to source it in one's .zshrc, or anything similar.

The bash completion works like a charm this way, I can just drop it into /etc/bash_completion.d/ and be done with it. The ZSH completion, however, doesn't. If I put it into /usr/share/zsh/functions/Completion/Unix, under the name _git-flow, it doesn't autoload. If I do an autoload _git-flow at that point, it starts to work, but not before.

It would be very useful, if the ZSH completion could be installed system-wide, the same way the bash completion can be. However, my ZSH knowledge is sadly lacking, especially with regards to completion: I don't even know where and how to start debugging the issue.

missing git flow config

git branch --set-upstream-to=origin/str

autocompletes to

git branch origin/streakpanel

but I think it should instead fail to complete, or complete to

git branch --set-upstream-to=origin/streakpanel

How does one go about using git-flow-completion.zsh as a zsh plugin?

Thanks

For more recent versions of git (installed via brew), the shell script should be:

if [ -f `brew --prefix`/etc/bash_completion.d/git-completion.bash ]; then
  . `brew --prefix`/etc/bash_completion.d/git-completion.bash
fi

I can't get the bash script to work.

git flow fea[tab] does nothing.

It will complete the word flow but that's about it. I see there have been fixes and updates going down for the zsh completion. Chances of us getting updates for the bash version?

Possibly relevant: http://github.com/nvie/git-flow-completion/commit/4b64eccd50fd34391df1833023cb30b125c9e9bd

Anyone interested in building ZSH completion functions for git-flow, too?

Under "Installation for Zsh" the first point is "Update your zsh's git-completion module to the newest verion -- available here.", but the link results into a 404 (also typo "verion").

I think the intended file is here now.
