From: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@xxxxxx> When `git switch --track ` is to be completed, only remote refs are eligible because that is what the `--track` option targets. And when the short-hand `-t` is used instead, the same _should_ happen. Let's make it so. Note that the bug exists both in the completions of `switch` and `completion`, even if it manifests in slightly different ways: While the completion of `git switch -t ` will not even look at remote refs, the completion of `git checkout -t ` will look at both remote _and_ local refs. Both should look only at remote refs. Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@xxxxxx> --- Fix the completion of git switch/git checkout: Treat --track and -t the same Just something that was nagging me for one year too many.
