SLINKWATCH-COMPLETION-BASH(1)

πŸ’– SLINKWATCH-COMPLETION-BASH πŸ’–

okay bestie, so this is the slinkwatch-completion-bash page from the SLINKWATCH-COMPLETION-BASH(1) manual, and it's literally just about making your terminal go tab tab tab and ✨magically✨ know what you meant. let's get into it 🫢


✨ NAME ✨

slinkwatch-completion-bash β€” generate the autocompletion script for bash πŸŽ€


🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

slinkwatch completion bash

πŸ¦‹ DESCRIPTION πŸ¦‹

bestie. we are generating the autocompletion script for the bash shell. that's it. that's the whole vibe. πŸ’…

heads up though: this script is lowkey dependent on the bash-completion package. if you don't already have it, no stress β€” just install it with whatever package manager your OS ships with. every distro has one, you got this 🫢

to load completions in your current shell session (like, right now, immediately, main character energy):

source <(slinkwatch completion bash)

to load completions for every new session (so you never have to think about it again, iconic), run this once:

🐧 Linux:

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

🍎 macOS:

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

and then β€” and this is the part everyone forgets, not me though, never me β€” you will need to start a new shell for this setup to take effect. fr fr. close it, open it, boom. ✨


πŸ’œ OPTIONS πŸ’œ

  • -h, --help[=false] β€” help for bash. it's giving "explain yourself" energy πŸŽ€
  • --no-descriptions[=false] β€” disable completion descriptions. the tab-complete suggestions will show up naked, no little explanation attached πŸ™ˆ
