I use Ubuntu 16.04 for web development. Its default shell is bash. I use git for source versioning. I would like to have git branch names with case insensitive completion. At the moment, completion using TAB key is case sensitive. How can I achieve this?
Here is my /etc/inputrc. I edit it as root and reload it as regular user with bind -f /etc/inputrc
#/etc/inputrc - global inputrc for libreadline
# See readline(3readline) and `info rluserman' for more information.
# Be 8 bit clean.
set input-meta on
set output-meta on
# To allow the use of 8bit-characters like the german umlauts, uncomment
# the line below. However this makes the meta key not work as a meta key,
# which is annoying to those which don't need to type in 8-bit characters.
# set convert-meta off
# try to enable the application keypad when it is called. Some systems
# need this to enable the arrow keys.
# set enable-keypad on
# see /usr/share/doc/bash/inputrc.arrows for other codes of arrow keys
# do not bell on tab-completion
# set bell-style none
# set bell-style visible
# some defaults / modifications for the emacs mode
$if mode=emacs
# allow the use of the Home/End keys
"\e[1~": beginning-of-line
"\e[4~": end-of-line
# allow the use of the Delete/Insert keys
"\e[3~": delete-char
"\e[2~": quoted-insert

# of the history

# alternate mappings for "page up" and "page down" to search the history
# "\e[5~": history-search-backward

# mappings for Ctrl-left-arrow and Ctrl-right-arrow for word moving

$if term=rxvt

$endif

# go right to showing multiple options
# set show-all-if-ambiguous on

$endif
# Two silly macros

# Insert double quotes & set cursor between them
"\C-x\"": "\"\"\C-b"
#
# Insert single quotes & set cursor between them
"\C-x'": "''\C-b"
Based on https://superuser.com/questions/271530/make-bashs-tab-completion-case-insensitive , add
in /etc/inputrc . Then open a new terminal to experience the changes.
