Subject: | bug#65766: 29.1; On MS-Windows, Pcomplete for Git subcommands opens a web browser instead of listing completions(?!) |
Date: | Tue, 5 Sep 2023 13:01:46 -0700 |
git add -<TAB>Instead of showing the list of completions, this opens up a web browser to the URL <file:///C:/Program%20Files/Git/mingw64/share/doc/git-doc/git-add.html> (or wherever you installed Git).
That's because usually, MS-Windows users don't have "man" installed, so Git opts to show its man pages in a web browser. I think when getting Pcomplete info from Help for Git, we should pass '--man' on the command line to force Git to use the format we expect (or at least to error out so that it doesn't open the web browser).
