The very-short version of my question is: How can I dynamically get
completion for `git rm` when what I've typed on the commandline so far
is `grm`? ("dynamically" meaning without defining a bunch of compdef's
up front.)
Longer version:
A colleague of mine finally convinced me that using his 'g___' aliases
for git commands was superior to using my 'g ___' versions. E.g.:
==> in his ~/.bashrc <==
alias gst='git status'
alias gco='git checkout'
========================
==> vs. my ~/.gitconfig <==
[alias]
st = status
co = checkout
==> and my ~/.zshrc <==
alias g=git
=======================
However, I'm still convinced that I'd rather keep mine as git
[alias]'es, rather than shell aliases (When getting slightly complex,
git [alias]es can be shell functions). So, I wrote the following:
valid_git_alias () {
git config -l | grep -qF "alias.$1="
}
valid_git_command () {
# my `awk` is better than my `zsh` for this kind of string manipulation:
git help --all | awk '/---/ { ok=1 ; OFS="\n" ; ORS="" } /^ / { NF=NF+1 ; if (ok) print $0 }' | grep -qF $1
}
command_not_found_handler () {
[[ $1 = g* ]] || return 1
local al=${1#g}
shift
valid_git_alias $al || valid_git_command $al || return 1
git $al "$@"
return 0
}
This lets me do:
`gst` -- gets converted to `git st` (which is one of my git [alias]es)
`grm` -- gets converted to `git rm` (which is a built-in git command)
The problem is that I've lost shell-completion (which I had with the `g
___` version). E.g. `g checkout <Tab>` would complete branches and
tags. And, with:
_git-co () { _git-checkout "$@" }
`g co <Tab>` would behave the same.
