I have been working with git in Mac and creating/deleting/moving to the branches lot so this command irks me - 

git checkout <some branch>

I want to do like this git checkout type some letters, then tab to get the name of some branch and checkout in the branch.

Is that possible?

For example,

  debug_print
* develop
  master

I'll do like this -

git checkout deb

and then tab it to get all of the remaining name of branch but the terminal shows like I'm losing some HP (white flashes on terminal).

Then, I have to type whole thing -

git checkout debug_print

    Do you have git tab completion installed? What's the output of `complete -p git`? – Benjamin W. May 13 '19 at 17:15
  • No, I don't think so, I didn't know there is git tab completion installed. How do I install it? -bash: complete: git: no completion specification – Meep May 13 '19 at 17:25
  • It gets installed with git itself, but you have to add something to your shell startup files. [These instructions](https://github.com/bobthecow/git-flow-completion/wiki/Install-Bash-git-completion) look like they should work. – Benjamin W. May 13 '19 at 17:37

  • yes, it will be good to redirect this question to that question. I didn't know what is the term to have that feature. Thank you! – Meep May 13 '19 at 19:51
