git completion not working

[cpojer]

git completion is not working. "git checkout bTAB" always tries to complete file names instead of branches etc.

I'm using git via homebrew (brew install git), version 1.7.8. It is located in /usr/local/Cellar/git/1.7.8

My .zshrc is pretty standard, the only plugin I have activated is "git"

[wilkerlucio]

here it's working, a little slow, but it can complete the branch names (including only remote ones)

+1 on this.

Also, if I click ctrl+c, after clicking tab, it stops doing what it's parsing, and autocompletes instantly, so it must be trying to look for something else besides checking on branches to autocomplete (or not sure if it's the actual git, and not zsh, behavior that kicks in after clicking ctrl+c)

+1 on this

none of my plugins seem to have completion working either. completion will always look for filenames

[cpojer]

So anyone knows what the problem is? :)

[cpojer]

I added source /usr/local/Cellar/git/1.7.8.3/etc/bash_completion.d to my .zshrc and disabled alias git="hub" and it is working for now. Should work out of the box though.

[eproxus]

Experiencing the same thing under Ubuntu 11.10. Using the git and github plugins (the latter which aliases hub to git).

Can confirm this also happens on OSX Lion when hub is aliased to git. After removing the alias, completion worked. I'm not sure which project a fix belongs in.

[cj]

I can confirm alias git=hub is the issue

[cj]

Using function git(){hub $@} instead works :D

[cpojer]

that is really slow though.

[jmacdonald]

I'm actually not getting any completion whatsoever, so I have to manually type the filenames.

Running Debian Squeeze.

[clifton]

Newer version of hub installs the following:

$ which git
git () {
    if ! (( $+_has_working_hub  ))
    then
        hub --version &> /dev/null
        _has_working_hub=$(($? == 0)) 
    fi
    if (( $_has_working_hub ))
    then
        hub "$@"
    else
        command git "$@"
    fi
}

I can definitely confirm that it is very slow when doing completion.

Since it took me a mental leap, I'll mention. Removing the alias then running 'hub' for commands like 'hub remote add' and 'hub fork' works too. Not as sexy, but it works and keeps regular git commands fast.

zsh --version
zsh 5.0.2 (x86_64-apple-darwin12.2.0)

[deiga]

@cj's workaround works for me and isn't slow at all.

[apanzerj]

Yeah:

$ unalias git

is the shit. My life, workflow, and sanity are now restored.

[maksimr]

github plugin doesn't work and
@cj's workaround doesn't work :(

hub --version
git version 1.8.0
hub version 1.11.2-g1c5d3bf

zsh --version
zsh 5.0.2 (x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu)

[bitoiu]

Same issue:

zsh 5.0.5 (x86_64-apple-darwin14.0)

[rockshandy]

I have been having similar issues very recently as @bitoiu after an update (same version string).

[mcornella]

Try #4444, there is a conflict with current git-extras completion. If you disable the git-extras plugin and it works, that's the problem.

[rockshandy]

That fixed it for me (actually just updated today)! Thanks.

[fiznool]

I've just experienced the same issue, using the git and github plugins (no git-extras).

My fix is to add this at the bottom of my .zshrc:

# Fix hub alias
unalias git
function git() { hub $@; }

[anrao91]

My fix for this issue -
1)Add this line in the ~/.zshrc file.
2)source /git-completion.bash #Provided you have the git-completion.bash file saved and has contents
3)Then execute -
$/.zshrc
4)$ZSH

@fiznool

# Fix hub alias unalias git function git() { hub $@; }

This did it for me.
