Completion in git bash for Windows: _init_completion: command not found

[brigitops]

This relates to issue #862, where a user was getting "_init_completion: command" due to updates to the bash completion script.

It was closed because the issue could be resolved by updating bash completion on Mac OSX. However, on Windows, with even the latest Git Bash for Windows (released in November -- see https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/releases/tag/v2.43.0.windows.1), I get the same issue. I also get this through the terminal in Intellij (which I also keep up-to-date).

I've searched for ways to install https://github.com/scop/bash-completion for Windows to update bash-completion itself, no luck.

Perhaps we can restore greater compatibility in the bash completion script without loss of functionality/performance?

• Task version: 3.34.1
• Operating system: Windows 11
• Experiments enabled: no

You can solve this issue by downloading the latest completion script and compat script and source them in ~/.bashrc:

# Enable latest bash-completion
source ~/bash_completion
source ~/000_bash_completion_compat.bash

# Enable completions
source ~/task.bash

At least on my setup, I get working completions for task in Git Bash for Windows.
