added fork gist: 1105203 : the url did not work anymore. i modified the url there to use raw url of github

I incorporated your changes, hope you don't mind. I can't seem to figure out a way to merge your changes with a gist a la pull request, so I just manually made the same edit you did. Hope you don't mind!

I get a pointer malloc error when the source "$PROFILE" line execs. That's not my specialty, but if others have this issue I'd be interested to know why. Otherwise the script execs fine (if you use .profile in bash)

@johngibb I ran this code and now my .profile script doesn't source when I open terminal. Any ideas? It works when I source it manually but it isn't doing it automatically anymore.

NM. I recently added a .bash_profile file which is now running instead of my .profile script. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/18773051/how-to-make-os-x-to-read-bash-profile-not-profile-file

I added "source ~/.profile" to .bash_profile and everything is happy again.

And the git completion is working. :)

You'll need to add -L to the curl command to follow redirect now

Thanks! I am glad I found this one! I have tried so many links, this one finally make the autocompletion work!
