I have ML with Xcode installed tools (git coming from there).

Later I've installed brew and install bash-completion, but git commands still not auto-completed.

Brew has no such package. Google does not helped. How I can enable git completion support in Mountain Lion?

SOLVED:

I've found solution here: https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/55875/how-can-i-get-git-to-autocomplete-e-g-branches-at-the-command-line and it works well.

I got that by using curl from the URL here:

curl https://raw.github.com/git/git/master/contrib/completion/git-completion.bash -o ~/.git-completion.bash

Then I added to my ~/.bash_profile file the following "execute if it exists" code:

if [ -f ~/.git-completion.bash ]; then . ~/.git-completion.bash; fi

    That should be -o ~/.git-completion.bash instead of -o /.git-completion.bash

  • Also, there needs to be a ; before the fi

  • I would suggest changing the URL to https://raw.githubusercontent.com/git/git/v1.8.5.2/contrib/completion/git-completion.bash in order to grab the completion script matching ML's Git version (1.8.5.2).

  • Strangely, a Zero Width Non-Joiner character (U+200C) got inserted in the middle of the URL in my last comment. Try the URL of this link instead: github/git/git/v1.8.5.2/contrib/completion/git-completion.bash.
