Confirm whether `hub` alone adds bash completion, or if `brew bash-completion` is needed

[MicFin]

Seems like consultants generally have this set up on their own computers.
It enables a developer to use tab to complete the name of a branch.

I believe hub is supposed to do this for us, but it's currently not configured correctly to do so.

I'd like to see this added.

@BenGitsCode Did you confirm or deny that hub takes care of this?

[jrhorn424]

Dang it @raq929 too fast!

[BenGitsCode]

Yup @raq929 is right, I believe it can be configured to do so but isn't currently.

[raq929]

Can you post directions for configuration here, plz?

[BenGitsCode]

I'm not entirely sure how to use it in hub, but I'm not testing what I'm seeing on my machine.

without hub and using brew, this strikes me as the easiest option. https://github.com/bobthecow/git-flow-completion/wiki/Install-Bash-git-completion#os-x--macos

[raq929]

That's not hub at all. But OK. Sounds fine.

hub bash completion looks slightly more involved but I did not try it. I did succeed at the steps @BenGitsCode shared above rather easily.

I've read the linked script. Thanks @MicFin.

It looks like as long as hub is configured correctly, it should provide completion by default.

I'd like that confirmed manually.
