Add completions for `gh` (GitHub.cli) about clink-completions HOT 14 CLOSED

Sorry, I'll get back to you soon once I figure out what I meant.

from clink-completions.

hub is deprecated and replaced by gh. I'll explore cost/feasibility of adding completions for gh.

from clink-completions.

I came here hoping to find a gh completion file for clink. I tried getting a lua specialised GPT to translate the zsh _gh file into lua, but it said that it was too complicated.

I have a prototype script for gh completions. I haven't had time to test it or fill in the gaps.

Would you like to mess around with testing it and filling in stuff, or at least filing issues for what's missing or wrong?

I can make a topic branch for working on the gh completions, if you'd like.

I created a gh_completions topic branch.

It has gh.lua which is the prototype script.

Sure. I'll start using it and see if I come across any problems.

@eggbean How have the gh completions been working for you? Any feedback, things to fix or improve?

from clink-completions.

Yes, it's been working well for me, thanks. I have not encountered any bugs or problems.

I haven't tried every subcommand extensively, but I have been using a few subcommands that I had never used before, as I didn't know they even existed until using these completions.

(I still haven't been able to combine these completion suggestions with the repeated tab cycling, in a similar way that is possible in zsh, though)

@eggbean Can you give an example?

@eggbean I don't understand what is meant by that. Can you give an example? I can probably explain or show how.

Everything I've tried has worked great.

@eggbean Maybe you meant one of these?

• Do you want the dark gray "auto suggestion" text to only show suggestions from available completions and never from history? clink set autosuggest.strategy completion (that would be pretty non-useful though; it might be better to just turn off autosuggest entirely in that case).
• Do you want Tab to cycle through completions? Either set Clink to use Windows key bindings instead of Bash key bindings (clink set clink.default_bindings windows) or set up bindings in your .inputrc file such as:

  "\C-I":    old-menu-complete
  "\e[Z":    old-menu-complete-backward

from clink-completions.

@eggbean Oh, I think what you're looking for ("in a similar way that is possible in zsh") might be bash's show-all-if-ambiguous config variable.

In the .inputrc file:

# Show matches if there's more than one (in complete, menu-complete, old-menu-complete).
set show-all-if-ambiguous    on
# Bind TAB to either menu-complete or old-menu-complete, depending on your preference.
"\C-I":    menu-complete
"\e[Z":    menu-complete-backward

But trying to figure out what you're referring to led me to find that in Clink the menu-complete commands weren't updated to respect the completion-auto-query-items config variable. So a fix for that is coming in v1.6.14 (probably in a week or two).

@eggbean I think that the outstanding issue about "combine these completion suggestions with the repeated tab cycling, in a similar way that is possible in zsh" is not about the gh argmatcher, and is instead about how to configure the tab completion command(s) to behave similarly to zsh for all completion in general.

I'm going to go ahead and publish a new release for the clink-completions repo.

from clink-completions.

Completions for gh were added in commit 651b979.
