[git] shell-aliased git aliases don't work

[clo4]

Sanity checks

• [X] My issue relates to a specific CLI completion spec (e.g. git checkout is missing options in git completion spec). If your issue is more general, please create your issue here: withfig/fig
• [X] I have searched github.com/withfig/autocomplete/issues and there are no duplicates of my issue
• [ ] I would like to work on this.

What CLI tool does this relate to?

git

Which statement makes the most sense?

There is a bug with this completion spec

Issue Details

Shell aliases eg. alias a=b don't work when the aliased command is a git alias

1. Create a git alias, eg. git config --global alias.co checkout
2. Verify it works
3. Add an alias to your config: alias gco="git co"
4. Restart fig
5. Type gco, observe (no) completions

This might also be an autocomplete-engine problem, not sure

I am also having this issue.

some of my alias's work some don't...

# don't work
alias a=amplify
alias as="a status"
alias apush="a push"
alias apub="a publish"
alias politlyAskFigToRestart="sudo bash ~/projects/scripts/i-love-fig.sh"
alias new_project="bash ~/projects/scripts/new_project.sh"
alias npro=new_project

# works
alias y=yarn

@ShawnCockburn strange - I think you might actually be running into a separate issue. I can reproduce this too

I have an alias alias git="noglob git" setup which Fig doesn't seem to pick up (autocomplete doesn't work at all for the alias). Is that the same issue as this one?

[clo4]

Slightly different, I think the issue is that fig doesn't understand noglob. It sees it as a command, looks up the completion, doesn't find it, then stops completing.

The proper solution to this is to update the parser, the quick solution is to add a noglob command to this repo - I'll do this now as a stopgap solution 🙂 #1147

This issue is specifically that shell aliases eg. alias a=b don't work when the aliased command is a git alias
