zsh git COMMAND autocomplete and filename autocomplete together?

Question

NOTE: I know there are many questions about autocomplete, but I am specifically asking a question about autocompletion of the git command, not regular autocomplete for listing files in a directory.

I am running Mac Catalina and have finally decided to hop on the zsh train. I wanted to get git command auto complete working (ie I type git a and hit tab and options for add , apply , etc come up).

I performed the recommended addition of autoload -Uz compinit && compinit to my ~/.zshrc file and voilà I had git command completion. Yay!

However, once I get to the git add point and try to tab complete to get the names of the files in the directory, I get nothing. Regular tab completion for ls , cp , etc work fine, but not for git after the addition of a command.

Is there a way to fix this problem so that I can get both the command autocomplete AND the file autocomplete working?

Answer 1

It should be working. Have you definitely got modified or untracked files in your current directory? I'd recommend the following configuration style so that it will tell you:

zstyle ':completion:*:warnings' format 'No matches for: %d'

Does completion after something else like git mv work?
