- Generates completions for these custom commands using the man pages provided by git-extras, so fish can suggest options when you type the custom commands as such
git-<custom_command>...:
The problem is, that these completions won't work if you type the custom commands as git <custom_command> (only --help is suggested):
I have tried a few things to get around this, without success.
First, using -w, --wraps option of complete:
for custom_command in (__fish_git_custom_commands)
complete -c git -n "__fish_git_using_command $custom_command" -w "git-$custom_command"
endThat gives very weird and convoluted completion results. I presume because using -w makes command actually ignore the -n, extending plain git with all the options of each custom command:
I also tried some expansion combinations with command -CSTRING but it won't show completions for things like complete -CSTRING"git-authors -".
Also don't know any way to alias/abbr multi-word strings to single-word commands (in order to tell fish that git authors is the same as git-authors).
Any suggestions? I would love to open a PR if this is actually possible to achieve.
