Is this something that could be rolled in to the official release or does this rest firmly in the personal customization realm? I'm prepared to submit a patch if you'd like.

Does adding to your local script complete -o bashdefault -o default -o nospace -F _git g 2>/dev/null \ || complete -o default -o nospace -F _git g work for you? It seems to me you just need to tell bash to run _git or _gitk when doing completion for your alias. -- Shawn. ``` ## Tim Visher, 2010-03-01 20:34 Subject: Re: Thoughts on git-completion Message-ID: URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/c115fd3c1003011234m75df37ehed54a59552f681a5%40mail.gmail.com In-Reply-To: <20100301195751.GG24776@spearce.org> ``` On Mon, Mar 1, 2010 at 2:57 PM, Shawn O.
