Git extra bash completion in dev container

[callumforrester]

Would be nice to run curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/git/git/master/contrib/completion/git-completion.bash -o ~/.git-completion.bash as a setup setp of the dev container. Mostly making this issue so I don't forget, will submit a PR in due course unless I've missed something obvious.

@gilesknap is this all that's needed?

[garryod]

Whilst I can't see any reason you wouldn't want this, surely the fact we mount ~/.bashrc would allow users who want this to have this without needing it in the dev container itself?

[gilesknap]

@callumforrester yes that is what is needed. @garryod I did not think we mounted .bashrc in skeleton devcontainers most things would break unless your host environ and container environ were very similar. (we do it for dev-c7 but that is the only one)

We have deliberately kept the devcontainer pretty minimal but this does make it not much fun to use!.

My approach to having a nice experience with devcontainers is to have my own global python/epics devcontainer in the form of dev-e7 see https://epics-containers.github.io/main/user/tutorials/02_devcontainer.html. I add multiple python and other folders to the one container and its the only dev environment I use.

One other point. I usually launch devcontainers with their workspace mounted inside the container as the same path outside. Then I can do most things like git commands outside. The dev-e7 example abpve uses this - see the devcontainer.json

Ah yeah, it's only .inputrc my mistake
