zsh-git-complete-urls

Zsh plugin to enhance git completion to include in the remotes completion (e.g. from git clone) any URL in the clipboard

Installation

Just source zsh-git-complete-urls.plugin.zsh in your .zshrc.

The clipboard plugin (included for example in oh-my-zsh or available at zsh-clipboard as a single plugin) must be installed for zsh-git-complete-urls to work

Add the following line to your .zshrc:

zplug

zplug "rapgenic/zsh-git-complete-urls"

antigen

antigen bundle rapgenic/zsh-git-complete-urls

antibody

antibody bundle rapgenic/zsh-git-complete-urls

zgen

zgen load rapgenic/zsh-git-complete-urls

How does it work??

It just overrides one of the simplest functions in the default git zsh completion library, __git_any_repositories, which gives the suggestions for the repos, and by adding a single argument to the _alternative function:

'remote-clipboard::__git_remote_clipboard'

where __git_remote_clipboard is another function defined in the plugin file that gives back an url suggestion from the clipboard, that is then added to the list of suggestions returned.
