@aria_im there is no other place to put them. The correct place would be /usr/share/bash-completion/completions/git but the git package is wrongly taking ownership of that, now nobody else can.

The correct way to do this would be the split the git package so the completion stuff is a separate package, then git-completion can replace that package and install the bash completion in the right place: /usr/share/bash-completion/completions/git.

Until that happens there's no other option.

git-completion places its files in the wrong directory (violating filesystem hierarchy standard):

$ pacman -Qo /usr/local/share
/usr/local/share/ is owned by filesystem 2025.05.03-1
/usr/local/share/ is owned by git-completion 2.2-1

However, /usr/local/share is only supposed to be used for user-installed applications, not ones handled by a package manager (including e.g. pacman).

@sph git 2.48.1-1 doesn't have /usr/share/zsh/site-functions/_git. Are you sure about that?

2.0-1 conflicts git=>2.48.1-1 on /usr/share/zsh/site-functions/_git

AFAICR the tests do require bash. The only thing I can think of is that your version of git is different than mine.

Tried to install this just now and got error:

I tried this install in both fish shell and bash shell thinking that maybe it was because of shell detection. I also used yay git-completion to install.
