[SOLVED] zsh git autocomplete: __git_find_on

zsh git autocomplete: __git_find_on_cmdline error

I am trying to get git autocomplete working with zsh and am running into a weird error (even though the autocomplete appears to complete successfully):

Installation:

mkdir -p ~/.zsh
cd ~/.zsh
curl -o git-completion.bash https://raw.githubusercontent.com/git/git/master/contrib/completion/git-completion.bash
curl -o _git https://raw.githubusercontent.com/git/git/master/contrib/completion/git-completion.zsh

Added to ~/.zshrc:

zstyle ':completion:*:*:git:*' script ~/.zsh/git-completion.bash
fpath=(~/.zsh $fpath)

autoload -Uz compinit && compinit

I open a new shell and run git checkout + "ty" + tab and I expect it to autocomplete with "typescript" with no errors:

raine[npm-check-updates]% gc ty__git_find_on_cmdline:[:7: unknown condition: -lt                                    ✓
__git_find_on_cmdline:[:7: unknown condition: -lt
__git_find_on_cmdline:[:7: unknown condition: -lt
pescript

It does autocomplete to "typescript" but with an error in between, right where I hit tab. What is causing this and how do I make it go away?

Solution

Zsh ships with excellent Git completion out of the box. To make it work, the only thing you need to do is have this in your ~/.zshrc file:

autoload -Uz compinit
compinit
