Cmder: Launching {bash::bash}} and trying to have use aliases always give me this error

[ArtisJr]

This is the error I receive when I launch cmder is shown below. This issue might be completely user error but I have been trying to find a solution for days now. Any help would be great.

If I run source ~/.bashrc right after the console loads the aliases work.

This is my current .bashrc file.

# ----------------------
# Git Aliases
# ----------------------
alias g='git'

if [ -f /etc/bash_completion ] && ! shopt -oq posix; then
    . /etc/bash_completion
fi


function_exists() {
    declare -f -F $1 > /dev/null
    return $?
}

for al in `__git_aliases`; do
    alias g$al="git $al"

    complete_func=_git_$(__git_aliased_command $al)
    function_exists $complete_fnc && __git_complete g$al $complete_func
done

# Run Eval on SSH-Agent and Add Key(s)
# if [ -z "$SSH_AUTH_SOCK" ] ; then  
#   eval `ssh-agent -s`
#   echo "Adding Keys..."
#   ssh-add
# fi

# Aliases 
alias 7z="/c/Program\ Files/7-Zip/7z.exe"  
alias ll="ls -lhA"  
alias edprof="code ~/.bashrc && source ~/.bashrc"  
alias c="clear"  
alias ..="cd .."  
alias ...="cd ../.."  
alias ....="cd ../../.."  
alias grep="grep --color"  

This is my .gitconfig file aliases are

[alias]
    # logs

    cl = clone

    a = add
    ap = add -p
    aa = add .

    ca = commit -a --verbose
    cm = commit -m
    cam = commit -a -m
    m = commit --amend --verbose

    d = diff
    ds = diff --stat
    dc = diff --cached

    s = status -s

What is '__git_aliases'? Is it another script that is missing? Your .bashrc is trying to run this command and not finding it.

[daxgames]

You may be able to replace '__git_aliases' with 'git config --get-regexp alias' and get what you expect. This is a guess and not tested!

[ArtisJr]

@daxgames Unfortunately running git config --get-regexp alias It caused an execution loop.

[daxgames]

Yeah looking at it again more changes to that script are needed. I bet/etc/bash_completion does not exist, at least in that exact path, and it is setting __git_aliases which itself is probably an alias.

Change what I originally suggested back and change /etc/bash_completion to ${GIT_INSTALL_ROOT}/etc/bash_completion.

[daxgames]

That will not work either unless you copy that script to that path but there is probably a better way.

You should copy that script to "$CMDER_ROOT/config/profile.d/bash_completion.sh". If there it will run every time you start bash::bash setting the appropriate aliases. Then remove/comment the first if block from your .bashrc file.

Maybe more but that's where I'd start.

[daxgames]

To make it all portable you could also move the contents of your .bashrc into $CMDER_ROOT/config/user-profile.sh. depends on whether cmder is your only bash environment.

[ArtisJr]

I'm not too worried about portability which is why I have the .bashrc file.

I did notice while writing all of this the /etc/bash_completion doesn't exist. However when I first set this up. Launching a bash console initially gave no errors. Then the next day after setting it up I received this __git_aliases error.

But still, why would it work after I run source ~/.bashrc?

[ArtisJr]

Actually now I get the error but I can still use the git aliases? Is the source ~/.bashrc like saved?

[daxgames]

Cmder init scripts source your .bashrc on start.

[daxgames]

Without __git_aliases being set then the following block does nothing:

for al in `__git_aliases`; do
    alias g$al="git $al"

    complete_func=_git_$(__git_aliased_command $al)
    function_exists $complete_fnc && __git_complete g$al $complete_func
done

When you say you can use the git aliases what do you mean. You can type:

git [alias name]

And it works? I would expect this as this is how git aliases work. The purpose of the code in .bashrc is for translate your git aliases into bash aliases so git aliases:

git cm

Or

g cm # .bashrc sets `alias g='git'`

That actually runs git commit -m would become a bash alias:

What bash aliases do you get when you type alias?

[ArtisJr]

Yes gcm is git commit -m

[daxgames]

@ArtisJr As I said earlier the below block does nothing so comment it and the error will go away:

for al in `__git_aliases`; do
    alias g$al="git $al"

    complete_func=_git_$(__git_aliased_command $al)
    function_exists $complete_fnc && __git_complete g$al $complete_func
done

FYI: as of this commit, which is included in git v2.18.0, __git_aliases has been replaced by:

$ git --list-cmds=alias
