Autocompletion of aliases

[sebglazebrook]

Proposal: smart/dynamic auto-completion of aliases

Problem

If I have an alias g that completes to 'git' I don't see the git bash completion

Solution

Dynamically work out the command being entered and direct the bash completion to the right command

it would be great, a little bit uncomfortable without this.

Any idea when this might land? Would be really useful!

[sebglazebrook]

This is a bit tricky, can be done but I haven't thought through it all yet.

I know how it would work for bash as that's the shell I use most but zsh or anything else I'm not sure.

Do you use bash or something else?

[wesselvdv]

I am using bash, and I've been using aliases for creating easy shortcuts in our development stack.

There is a great project for this already. See cykerway/complete-alias.git
