I find that there are some sub-commands can't be completed by TAB key: $ git <TAB> add cherry-pick fetch latexdiff [...] As you can see, there are some sub-commands which are not listed in the above list, for example, the following ones: $ git ls-remote $ git ls-files Any hints for this problem?
Tab completion is only available for user-facing sub-commands
("porcelain"), but not for sub-commands intended for scripting
("plumbing"). The intent is to make tab completion more efficient during
day-to-day work on the command line. For example,
$ git l<TAB>
arrives at
$ git log <cursor here>
instead of
log ls-files ls-remote ls-tree
$ git l<cursor here>
