hi, i've always been annoyed by having to type — or copy & paste — paths when i wanted to simply add some files to the index. i know about the `add -i` interface, and that improves things a little, but having bash completion for so many other things it still seemed to much hassle.
so here's a patch adding bash completion on `git add` for modified, updated and untracked files. i've also set up a pull request — before i found `Documentation/SubmittingPatches`. fwiw, it's at https://github.com/git/git/pull/29 best regards, andi >From cbac6caee7e788569562cb7138eb698cc46a1b8f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andreas Zeidler <a...@zitc.de> Date: Fri, 9 Nov 2012 13:05:43 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] add bash completion for "addable" files this adds support for completing only modified, updated and untracked files on `git add`, since almost always these are what you want to add to the index. the list of possible completions is determined using `git status` and filtered using `egrep` and `sed`.
