πŸ’– NAME πŸ’–

ubuntu-insights-completion-bash β€” bestie, this is the one that generates the autocompletion script for bash. that's it, that's the whole job, and she does it flawlessly πŸ’…

it's section 1, from the Ubuntu-insights: ubuntu-insights(1) manual, and yes we're doing this together, hold my hand 🫢


✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

ubuntu-insights completion bash

one line. no drama. she ate πŸŽ€


🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so basically: this generates the autocompletion script for the bash shell. you type a lil bit, bash finishes your thought. main character energy fr fr πŸ‘‘

heads up bestie: this script depends on the bash-completion package. if you don't already have it, install it via your OS's package manager, no cap. it will NOT work without it πŸ’€

now, to load completions in your current shell session:

source <(ubuntu-insights completion bash)

boom. instant. iconic ✨

and to load completions for every new session, run this once:

🧚 Linux:

ubuntu-insights completion bash > /etc/bash_completion.d/ubuntu-insights

πŸ¦‹ macOS:

⚠️ real talk: you'll need to start a new shell for this setup to actually take effect. don't come at me when it's not showing up in your current one, that's just how it is 😭
