Setting up GIT Bash autocompletion. Use this only if you are using Bash instead of ZSH.

gistfile1.md

To see what shell you are using, you can:

echo $SHELL and it will tell you.

Use the below only if you are using bash.

Run the following to create ~/.git-completion.bash:

curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/git/git/master/contrib/completion/git-completion.bash > ~/.git-completion.bash

and ~/.git-prompt.sh:

curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/git/git/master/contrib/completion/git-prompt.sh > ~/.git-prompt.bash

Then add the following to your ~/.bashrc after PATH:

# Source the git bash completion file
if [ -f ~/.git-completion.bash ]; then
    source ~/.git-completion.bash
fi
# Source the git bash prompt file  -- note part changes your existing bash prompt (would be nice to re-work)
if
    source ~/.git-prompt.bash
    export GIT_PS1_SHOWDIRTYSTATE=true
    export GIT_PS1_SHOWUNTRACKEDFILES=true
    export GIT_PS1_SHOWCOLORHINTS=true
    export PROMPT_COMMAND='__git_ps1 "\w" "\\\$ "'
