  • doesn't work as expected — it works for me as expected. f.e., git log shows history for the repo in ./.git/, and git.home log shows history for the repo in ~/.git.home/. and completion of branches in both cases is working correctly. Commented Jul 18, 2015 at 10:20
  • hm, I can't reproduce. What do you see after last git log<space><tab>? What do you see for git --git-dir=.git log<space><tab> in ~/bash_completion? Commented Jul 18, 2015 at 10:33
  • 1. use jessie and "official" package bash-completion. 2. append these lines to ~/.bashrc and re-login. 3. cp -a /some/repo/.git ~/.git.home. 4. cd. 5. try git.home log, git.home status etc. Commented Jul 18, 2015 at 10:47
  • What do you see after last git log<space><tab> — hmm. in home dir this should cause the error, but i see branches from ~/.git.home Commented Jul 18, 2015 at 10:52
  • yes, cd, git.home log, git.home status works fine. but git log<space><tab> always shows git --git-dir=$HOME/.git.home for-each-ref '--format=%(refname:short)' refs/tags refs/heads refs/remotes and HEAD. i.e. git.home completion affects git completion Commented Jul 18, 2015 at 11:03
