Autocomplete for git's plumbing commands
By default, git’s completion only shows “porcelain” commands such as add
, commit
, etc., and hides the low-level
“plumbing” commands like read-tree
.
$ git re<TAB>
rebase remote replace reset revert
reflog repack request-pull restore
This behavior can be modified by setting the GIT_COMPLETION_SHOW_ALL_COMMANDS=1
environment variable so that plumbing commands are also shown, which is documented in its completion script.
GIT_COMPLETION_SHOW_ALL_COMMANDS
When set to "1" suggest all commands, including plumbing commands
which are hidden by default (e.g. "cat-file" on "git ca<TAB>").
$ export GIT_COMPLETION_SHOW_ALL_COMMANDS=1
$ git re<TAB>
read-tree receive-pack remote remote-fd replace rerere restore rev-list
rebase reflog remote-ext repack request-pull reset revert rev-parse
