Problems in auto generated custom-completion files

[tsathis]

Some auto generated custom-completion files have syntax errors.
As an example the git.nu has syntax errors in following locations:

nu_scripts/custom-completions/auto-generate/completions/git.nu

Line 1 in 7d5c2f0

[# Display the manual of a git command

nu_scripts/custom-completions/auto-generate/completions/git.nu

Agreed. It was a quick first take at auto-generating custom completions from zsh completions (I believe). Feel free to help fix these. We wanted to land these, even though they weren't perfect, in the hope that someone else would come along and help polish them off.

I'm happy to help fixing these. @fdncred Is the plan to manually correct the auto-generated scripts or only focus on correcting the generators?

I'd prefer that the generators be fixed myself. so, when new ones are added to other system (zsh) we can just run the generator again and get accurate custom completions. what do you think?

Yes, that would be the cleanest solution. With a good testing mechanism it will be the best option. However, in the interim allowing manual fixing of generated scripts may be good.

ok, I'm down with whatever. there's a bunch of noop completions in here that need to be fixed too.
