In zsh, I have a function called g which acts like this:
git status git $@ I would like the tab completions for g to be exactly the same as for git. I can achieve this with alias g=git, but that doesn't allow me to call status by default (the first point above).
How can I delegate to the completion for git?
In bash, I simply did complete -F _git g which re-uses git's completion function. With zsh, git's completion looks much more complex, and I wan't able to find a similar solution.
I'd guess there's some function in zsh to say "pretend I typed command [x], what would you complete it to?". If I knew what that was, it should be simple enough to use a function to delegate to it. But I've found no such function in the manuals.

When you hit the tab key, the system will complete the path to the Documents folder. At this point, you can add a character or two to get to a unique completion, and hit the tab key again. In zsh you can also hit the tab key repeatedly to cycle through the suggested completions.
for ZSH usersZsh can handle bash completions functions. The latest development version of zsh has a function bashcompinit, that when run will allow zsh to read bash completion specifications and functions.
zsh-autocomplete adds real-time type-ahead autocompletion to Zsh. Find as you type, then press Tab to insert the top completion, Shift Tab to insert the bottom one, or ↓ / PgDn to select another completion.
The documentation for compdef says this:
The function
compdefcan be used to associate existing completion functions with new commands. For example,compdef _pids foo
But adapting it (_git is the usual completion function for git) did not produce a working result for me (even after _git had been autoloaded):
compdef _git g I was able to get it to work via _dispatch though:
compdef '_dispatch git git' g If you love us? You can donate to us via Paypal or buy me a coffee so we can maintain and grow! Thank you!
