ullaskunder3 / git-autocomplete

To setup autocomplete:

-----------1st Method: worked for me-------------------

1. Install Git and bash-completion:

sudo apt-get install git bash-completion

check your git version git --version

2. To set your name and id

git config --global user.name "your name"
git config --global user.email "[email protected]"

3. restart your bash (new one)

To Test git autocomplete

try git flow TAB shows the files under bash Or

git chekcout master

this will show:

git: 'chekcout' is not a git command. See 'git --help'.

The most similar command is
        checkout

That's it

--------------------------2nd method :(-----------------------------

To setup autocomplete:

• Install git sudo apt-get install git
• Enter the command it terminal

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/git/git/master/contrib/completion/git-completion.bash

• No matter how you acquired the script, you need to rename the file to start with a period. You can do this in the terminal with this command:

mv git-completion.bash .git-completion.bash

Now that we have the file in your home directory with the correct filename, you need to edit either the .bash_profile or .bashrc file found also in your home directory to use the extension. Let’s use the Nano file editor to make the changes assuming you have a .bash_profile file there.

nano .bash_profile

In the editor window type in this code at the end of the file:

if [ -f ~/.git-completion.bash ]; then
   source ~/.git-completion.bash
fi

Apply the changes

The script will work for all new terminal tabs (or windows), to have it running right away you need to execute it:

source ~/.bash_profile

save it & exit

To Test git autocomplete

In new bash try git flow then TAB Or try

git chekcout master

this will show

git: 'chekcout' is not a git command. See 'git --help'.

The most similar command is
        checkout
