MacOS Troubleshooting

Tab Autocompletion

If your Mac terminal doesn’t have tab autocompletion enabled when typing out your long branch name you created among other git commands, follow the steps from this link.

This will only work in your Mac terminal. If you’d like to enable this in VS Code as well, open up your preferences with Cmd + ,, and then navigate through this:

  • User -> Extensions -> Git.

  • Scroll down to the setting labeled Terminal Git Editor and check this box.

  • You will need to restart your existing terminal inside of VS Code if one is already open.
