#On Linux#
on most distributions, git completion script is installed into /etc/bash_completion.d/
(or /usr/share/bash-completion/completions/git
) when you install git, no need to go to github. You just need to use it - add this line to your .bashrc
:
source /etc/bash_completion.d/git
# or
source /usr/share/bash-completion/completions/git
In some versions of Ubuntu, git autocomplete may be broken by default, reinstalling by running this command should fix it:
sudo apt-get install git-core bash-completion
#On Mac#
You can install git completion using Homebrew or MacPorts.
Homebrew
if $BASH_VERSION
> 4: brew install bash-completion@2
(updated version)
Pay special care which version of bash you have as MacOS default ships with 3.2.57(1)-release.
add to .bash_profile
:
[[ -r "/usr/local/etc/profile.d/bash_completion.sh" ]] && . "/usr/local/etc/profile.d/bash_completion.sh"
For older versions of bash: brew install bash-completion
add to .bash_profile
:
[ -f /usr/local/etc/bash_completion ] && . /usr/local/etc/bash_completion
MacPorts
sudo port install git +bash_completion
then add this to your .bash_profile
:
if [ -f /usr/share/bash-completion/bash_completion ]; then
. /usr/share/bash-completion/bash_completion
fi

Note that in all cases you need to create a new shell (open a new terminal tab/window) for changes to take effect.
