i use alias which adds some parameters to some program.
for example:
alias git.home='git --git-dir=$HOME/.git.home/'
complete -o bashdefault -o default -o nospace -F _git git.home \
2>/dev/null || complete -o default -o nospace -F _git git.home
it works with bash-completion v.1:2.0-1
("debian 7 wheezy"):
tab completes parameters and options for alias git.home
as well as for "original" git
.
but with bash-completion v.1:2.1-4
("debian 8 jessie") after typing git.home
and pressing tab i get this error:
bash: completion: function `_git' not found
how to re-use existing completion (for example for git
) with recent versions of package bash-completion
?
update
found partial solution: do source /usr/share/bash-completion/completions/git
before complete ...
but i get another error - git.home log
+ space + tab results in:
fatal: Not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git HEAD
