5 points · Open discussionThe xonsh Xontrib [1] open pull request sounds handy, allowing devs to extend the functionality of xonsh beyond what is provided by default.
As an example, gitsome [2] is powered by xonsh and might have benefitted from Xontrib.
I've found that xonsh + prompt-toolkit [3] is a nice combo that helps autocomplete the following:
* Shell commands
* Files and directories
* Environment variables
* Man pages
* Python (REPL too)

In The xonsh shellHi, please check out the following to see if they help enable completions for your system.
Bash: https://github.com/donnemartin/gitsome#enabling-bash-complet...
Zsh: https://github.com/donnemartin/gitsome/issues/2#issuecomment...
In Show HN: Gitsome: A Git/Shell Autocompleter with GitHub IntegrationHmm, I haven't looked at GitHub enterprise specifically. johntdyer on GitHub submitted an issue asking about this also, I'll check and update the following:

In Show HN: Gitsome: A Git/Shell Autocompleter with GitHub IntegrationRegarding the gif being too fast, thanks for the feedback! I've slowed it down 50%, hopefully it's easier to follow.
I'd love to get some more feedback on gitsome, I admit I'm not the best gif-maker :)
A few other updates based on feedback/questions from the community:
* Completions work with zsh, not just bash [1]
* The GitHub-integration commands work regardless of whether you start the gitsome autcompleter shell. Check out the quick reference [2] and full reference [3] of GitHub commands available.
