Hello, is it possible to make a function to inherit the completion contest
of another sub command? in my case i would like to make the function gd
complete as it was "git diff"
thanks in advance

The simple way is

autoload -X _git   # fails if _git is already loaded, harmless
compdef _git-diff gd

Others may be able to think of gotchas requiring something a bit
more sophisticated.

There's the "as if" function posted a few days ago to zsh-workers --
haven't tried it myself.

compdef '_as_if git diff' gd

diff --git a/Completion/Base/Utility/_as_if b/Completion/Base/Utility/_as_if
new file mode 100644
index 000000000..84777ee32
--- /dev/null
+++ b/Completion/Base/Utility/_as_if
@@ -0,0 +1,6 @@
+#autoload

+local words=("$words[@]") CURRENT=$CURRENT
+words[1]=("$@")
+(( CURRENT += $# - 1 ))
+_normal
