Case-sensitive ssh completion

[jornodberg]

I had trouble getting ssh-completion to work with hosts defined in .ssh/config

Until I changed the syntax from 'host myhost' to 'Host myhost'.

Why is it case-sensitive, when ssh-config is not?

Because the ssh completion shipped with Oh My Bash is not perfect.

oh-my-bash/completions/ssh.completion.sh

Line 48 in 410b6c9

COMPREPLY+=($(compgen -W "$(awk '/^Host/ {for (i=2; i<=NF; i++) print $i}' "${config_files[@]}")" "${options[@]}"))

Actually, there are many places to improve our ssh completion. Probably you want to consider using the completion setting for ssh from the bash-completion project.

If you already have bash-completion installed in your system (specifically at /usr/share/bash-completion/bash_completion), you can simply remove ssh from the array completions in your ~/.bashrc. Then, the ssh completion from the bash-completion project would be usually enabled automatically. If your bash-completion is not installed at /usr/share/bash-completion/bash_completion, you can manually source /path/to/bash-completion in your ~/.bashrc.

Thanks.

I've edited the code in ssh.completion.sh to allow different cases for 'host': #645

Never really contributed code by Git earlier, so please tell if I've done this incorrect. :)
Or also if my code is shait.

Don't worry. You are on the right path.
