git completion in zsh

Posted by: Brian Pontarelli on 11/21/2008

Just figured out how to get git tab completion working in zsh on a Mac. Turns out that the completion scripts use a bunch of extra git commands such as git-ls-files. These commands need to be in your path for the completion to work. If you installed git using the OS X installer, you need to add this directory to your path:

/usr/local/git/libexec/git-core
