Please forgive me as I don't know the background of the efforts for
zsh git-completion or
the syntax for zsh completion, but I thought I'd mention another
approach I tried for tcsh
which may work for zsh.
I gather that using a wrapper for zsh causes concerns about
backwards-compatibility.
So, what could be done is have the bash script do both jobs: setup the
zsh completion
commands, and output the git completion using bash itself. At the top
of git-completion.bash
(or it could be even pushed at the bottom using if/else) we could use:
if [[ -n ${ZSH_VERSION-} ]]; then
# replace below by zsh completion commands calling `bash
${HOME}/.git-completion.bash`
complete git 'p/*/`bash ${HOME}/.git-completion.bash ${COMMAND_LINE}`/'
complete gitk 'p/*/`bash ${HOME}/.git-completion.bash ${COMMAND_LINE}`/'
exit
fi
That way the zsh user would still simply do 'source
~/.git-completion.bash' which would
only execute the two zsh completion setup commands. Then, when completion is
triggered, it calls `bash ${HOME}/.git-completion.bash ${COMMAND_LINE}` and
processes the output like tcsh does. This limits the zsh-specific
code to 2 lines for
the entire script.
I got this to work for tcsh (solution (B)) adding the following a the top of
git-completion.bash:
test "$tcsh" != "" && \
complete git 'p,*,`${HOME}/.git-completion.sh
"${COMMAND_LINE}"|\sort|\uniq`,' && \
complete gitk 'p,*,`${HOME}/.git-completion.sh
"${COMMAND_LINE}"|\sort|\uniq`,' && \
exit
but I didn't think people would go for that since those lines have to
work in both bash
and tcsh syntax. I thought this made the script a bit brittle.
Just a thought.
