A common thing to grep for is the name of a symbol. This patch teaches the completion for "git grep" to look in a 'tags' file, if present, to complete a pattern. For example, in git.git: $ make tags $ git grep get_sha1<Tab><Tab> get_sha1 get_sha1_oneline get_sha1_1 get_sha1_with_context get_sha1_basic get_sha1_with_context_1 get_sha1_hex get_sha1_with_mode get_sha1_hex_segment get_sha1_with_mode_1 get_sha1_mb Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@xxxxxxxx> --- This incorporates the suggestions from Gábor's review, with one exception: it still looks only in the current directory for the "tags" files. I think that might have some performance implications, so I'd rather add it separately, if at all. contrib/completion/git-completion.bash | 13 +++++++++++++ 1 files changed, 13 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-) diff --git a/contrib/completion/git-completion.bash b/contrib/completion/git-completion.bash index 888e8e1..af283cb 100755 --- a/contrib/completion/git-completion.bash +++ b/contrib/completion/git-completion.bash @@ -1429,6 +1429,10 @@ _git_gitk () _gitk } +__git_match_ctag() { + awk "/^${1////\\/}/ { print \$1 }" "$2" +} + _git_grep () { __git_has_doubledash && return @@ -1451,6 +1455,15 @@ _git_grep () ;; esac + case "$cword,$prev" in + 2,*|*,-*) + if test -r tags; then + __gitcomp "$(__git_match_ctag "$cur" tags)" + return + fi + ;; + esac + __gitcomp "$(__git_refs)" } -- 1.7.7.rc1.28.g5dd2ee -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
