WARNING: this script is deprecated, please see git-completion.zsh

Question

I'm using oh-my-zsh and I get this error every time I open terminal:

WARNING: this script is deprecated, please see git-completion.zsh

is there any solution to that?

Solution 1

Might seems silly, but make sure that you source your ~/.zshrc file (create one if it does not exists). On OSX I completely forgot that I had switched to zsh, and got the error you mentioned because I was doing source ~/.bashrc

1. The easiest way to get auto-completion working is to install it through Homebrew (it will work for zsh as well as bash.):

brew install bash-completion

2. Put this into your ~/.zshrc:

# auto-completion
if [ -f /opt/local/etc/profile.d/bash_completion.sh ]; then
  . /opt/local/etc/profile.d/bash_completion.sh
fi

3. Save the file and do a source ~/.zshrc and you will be good

Solution 2

For me, I simply had copied over the contents of ~/.bash_profile to ~/.zprofilewhen migrating to zsh. I simply removed this line which was the root cause of the warning message:

source ~/.profile

Solution 3

In Git for Windows, this message is emitted during execution of the file etc/profile.d/git-prompt.sh, if the shell is not Bash.

git-prompt.sh sources git-completion.bash without looking at the shell name. That file checks that it is not run by Bash, emits that warning message and exits.

Here is the link to the respective code: https://github.com/git/git/blob/master/contrib/completion/git-completion.bash#L3509

You should look inside git-completion.zsh located in the same directory near this file and follow installation instructions provided in the comments in the beginning:

# The recommended way to install this script is to make a copy of it as a
# file named '_git' inside any directory in your fpath.
#
# For example, create a directory '~/.zsh/', copy this file to '~/.zsh/_git',
# and then add the following to your ~/.zshrc file:
#
#  fpath=(~/.zsh $fpath)

I think this is a good question, since many times people will simply google a warning that appears in their command line.

I get the following errors from my zsh: zsh:12: command not found: ___main (eval):1: no matches found: *:all-files _tags:comptags:36: can only be called from completion function _tags:comptry:55: can only be called from completion function _tags:comptags:60: can only be called from completion function _tags:comptags:67: can only be called from completion function zsh --version zsh 5.0.5 (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu) # I also use Oh My Zsh.

This solved a 2-hour struggle for me after I switched to zsh. Thank you!

It says git-completion.zsh:.:48: no such file or directory: _git:19: command not found: _default at MacOS 11.

You saved me so much time. Thank you! I just switched to macOS and you're the only person who told me to create a ~/.zshrc

Tks bro, i am new im Mac. Tks <3

source: no such file or directory: /Users/myuser/.profile

[Jas]

@IgorGanapolsky Looks like ~/.profile does not exist, so if you remove that line when copying over from ~/.bash_profile to ~/.zprofile you should not get that error

[Eaweb]

@EzequielDeSimone I had to comment out "#source ~/git-completion.bash" in my zshrc to clear the warning even after following the instructions on this answer. Maybe that might help too.

The closest file I can find is /opt/homebrew/etc/bash_completion. But sourcing that in zsh gives lots of errors like /opt/homebrew/etc/bash_completion:59: command not found: shopt

[Colin Daniel]

For this issue, my colleague just needed to remove references to bash_completion in the .zshrc file. We use ohmyzsh and autocompletion is already implemented.
