How do I get bash completion to work with aliases?

Question

Case in point:

I\'m a on mac with bash v3.2.17, I\'m using git installed via macports with the bash_completion variant.

When I type git checkout m<

Answer 1

I have aliased g='git', and combined with my git aliases I type things like

$ g co 

The simpler fix for my specific use case was to add a single line to git-completion.

Right below this line:

__git_complete git _git

I added this line to handle my single 'g' alias:

__git_complete g _git
