git-flow-completion

Bash, Zsh and fish completion support for git-flow.

The contained completion routines provide support for completing:

  • git-flow init and version
  • feature, hotfix and release branches
  • remote feature, hotfix and release branch names

Installation for Bash

To achieve git-flow completion nirvana:

  1. Install git-completion.

  2. Install git-flow-completion.bash. Either:

    1. Place it in your bash_completion.d folder, usually something like /etc/bash_completion.d, /usr/local/etc/bash_completion.d or ~/bash_completion.d.

    2. Or, copy it somewhere (e.g. ~/git-flow-completion.bash) and put the following line in the .profile or .bashrc file in your home directory:

       source ~/git-flow-completion.bash

  3. If you are using Git < 1.7.1, you will need to edit git completion (usually /etc/bash_completion.d/git or git-completion.sh) and add the following line to the $command case in _git:

    _git ()
{
        [...]
        case "$command" in
           [...]
           flow)        _git_flow ;;		
           *)           COMPREPLY=() ;;
        esac
}

Installation for Zsh

To achieve git-flow completion nirvana:

  1. Update your zsh's git-completion module to the newest version -- available here. Optional if you have an up-to-date version of zsh.

  2. Install git-flow-completion.zsh. Either:

    1. Place it in your .zshrc.

    2. Or, copy it somewhere (e.g. ~/.git-flow-completion.zsh) and put the following line in your .zshrc:

       source ~/.git-flow-completion.zsh

    3. Or, use this file as an oh-my-zsh plugin.

      1. Install the plugin by cloning this repository to your directory for custom oh-my-zsh plugins:

      git clone https://github.com/bobthecow/git-flow-completion ~/.oh-my-zsh/custom/plugins/git-flow-completion

      After doing that, your file tree ought to look like this:

      1. Turn the plugin on by updating your zsh configuration file, ~/.zshrc

        1. open ~/.zshrc

        2. Find the plugins section. It'll look like this:

           # Which plugins would you like to load? (plugins can be found in ~/.oh-my-zsh/plugins/*)
 # Custom plugins may be added to ~/.oh-my-zsh/custom/plugins/
 # Example format: plugins=(rails git textmate ruby lighthouse)
 plugins=(<some-plugin> <another-plugin> <third-plugin>)

        3. Add git-flow-completion to the list of plugins within the parentheses.

        4. Save

      2. Reload Terminal

Installation for fish

To achieve git-flow completion nirvana:

  1. Install git.fish in your ~/.config/fish/completions folder.
