Description

I am not sure what I did, but I guess the git autocompletion broke for me... I think it happened while I was trying to set git=hub so that I don't always have to use hub.

Now it broke...

I have tried reinstalling gitsome, but the issue still occurs. Any help? gif

Also, I was using it on windows. I looked here on how to add it back, but I simply can't find any of the paths in:

    'BASH_COMPLETIONS': (('/usr/local/etc/bash_completion',
                             '/opt/local/etc/profile.d/bash_completion.sh',
                             '/usr/local/etc/bash_completion.d/git-completion.bash')
                        if ON_MAC else
                        ('/usr/share/bash-completion/bash_completion',
                             '/usr/share/bash-completion/completions/git')
                        if ON_ARCH else
                        ('/etc/bash_completion',
                             '/usr/share/bash-completion/completions/git')),

Research direction
The user reports git autocomplete broken after setting git=hub. On Windows, the bash completion paths referenced in gitsome's code are not present. Investigate the completion setup in the repository and determine the correct paths or installation steps for Windows. Check if there is a need to modify the completion configuration or provide alternative instructions for Windows users.
