README

        
This project is a friendly fork of the official Git completion

(`contrib/completion`) and prompt scripts for Bash, Zsh, and possibly other

shells.

Most Git developers use the Bash shell, for which the completion scripts work

rather well, however, Zsh is typically neglected. I've sent many patches to fix

the issues, many have been merged, but many have been ignored, thus the need for

a canonical location of a good, working Zsh completion.

There are advantages for Bash users too. Currently the scripts under `contrib` are tied to the

specific Git version, for example the completion scripts of version v2.40

(https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git.git/plain/contrib/completion/git-completion.bash?h=v2.40.0[git-completion.bash])

have issues with older versions of Git (e.g. v2.33); the ones in

this project don't.

With `git-completion` you can be sure you are using the latest completion that

works in both shells, and any Git version.

This is a sister project of the

https://github.com/ohmyzsh/ohmyzsh/tree/master/plugins/gitfast[Oh My Zsh

gitfast] plugin (that I also maintain), which has similar needs.

== Installation ==

* https://github.com/felipec/git-completion/wiki/Bash[Bash instructions]

* https://github.com/felipec/git-completion/wiki/Zsh[Zsh instructions]

== Improvements from upstream ==

This is a short list of the benefits you get:

* Easier installation

* Tons of bug fixes

* Works with older versions of git

* Zsh: much more options

* Zsh: quoting works properly

* Zsh: automatic suffix removal
