Hi,

I frequently have the need to cd back to the root of the current git workdir and created to alias for this:

git alias root = rev-parse --show-toplevel

shell alias cdgit = cd $(git root)

Maybe somebody likes this.

Now it would be cool, to have an alias to cd into a specific subdir of the git worktree and have zsh (or bash) auto completion for this like

git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git.git cd git/gitweb/static/js/lib (just to be somewhere deep) cdgit con<tab>/com<tab> (becomes: cdgit contrib/completion)

Somebody with zsh/bash skills who already did this?

Regards, Thomas Koch

I do, and I was about to copy it into my own config when I discovered that I'd already done this 4 years ago and totally forgotten about it :)

I hadn't done this before today, but it's easy in zsh:

Of course, _gitcd needs to be somewhere on your $fpath so it can be autoloaded.

I've tried to make this happen many years ago, but I never finished the ZLE widget that did it. The idea was to bind 'tab' to a function that would replace an occurrence of ~g in $LBUFFER with the output of rev-parse--show-toplevel and then delegate to normal tab expansion.

So now I just have

  hash -d g=$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel)

in a pre-prompt function and get the same effect.
