HUGO-COMPLETION-BASH(1)

✨ NAME ✨

ok so hugo-completion-bash — it generates the autocompletion script for bash 💅 that's literally the whole thing, and it's lowkey iconic.

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

hugo completion bash

---

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

bestie listen: this generates the autocompletion script for the bash shell. that's it, that's the vibe ✨

heads up though — this script depends on the bash-completion package. if it's not installed already, you can install it via your OS's package manager. no cap, go do that first 🙈

To load completions in your current shell session:

source <(hugo completion bash)

To load completions for every new session, execute once:

🐧 Linux:

hugo completion bash > /etc/bash_completion.d/hugo

🍎 macOS:

hugo completion bash > $(brew --prefix)/etc/bash_completion.d/hugo

You will need to start a new shell for this setup to take effect 🌈 (yeah, the classic "it's not working" moment — just open a fresh shell, trust 🫶)
