How to easily Install Autocomplete for Bash on MAC
By partially typing commands or arguments and then clicking the [Tab] key, you can use the bash completion tool to automatically complete them. You can use this to write the bash command in the terminal.
Installation
brew install bash-completion
Bash completion will be installed in /usr/local/etc/bash_completion.d
.
For it to work, add this to your ~/.bash_profile
:
[ -f /usr/local/etc/bash_completion ] && . /usr/local/etc/bash_completion
Or simply type:
echo "[ -f /usr/local/etc/bash_completion ] && . /usr/local/etc/bash_completion" >> ~/.bash_profile
To re-read your bash profile:
source ~/.bash_profile
