why zsh git autocompletion is not as good as bash? [closed]

zsh is recommended all over the place and is supposed to be one of the more advanced shells out there. Why then I find it that zsh autocompletion lacking in many areas that I'm used to with bash?

Try upgrading to at least Zsh 4.3.10. It fixes the problems with Git aliases.

"I'm a really new user of zsh but one of the first things I installed was oh-my-zsh. It is a community-driven collection of plugins, themes and other awesome stuff. It has a solid set of default settings that have ""just worked"" for me.

It makes for a fun experience since with zsh's awesome completion system managing local and remote branches is a lot clearer.

My version is from the standard Ubuntu repositories: zsh 4.3.11 (x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu). I suggest you try oh-my-zsh out to see if it works for you out of the box like it did for me."
