Bash autocompletion
s-hemer opened this issue · comments
I started a bash-completion script for bmaptool. It is still a bit hacky not yet ready for a pull rq but what I'd like to know: where to put that file, packaging/, contrib/ ?
Hi, first quick question - why script instead of argcomplete module, which will automatically add all options and commands?
Good point. Indeed, that is potentially the better way to go when touching the Python scripts directly, yet I just wanted to add that functionality to my package system install, so I went the way with the completion script that I was more familiar with.
There are many examples googlable, but here is a project I currently actively maintain which uses argpcompete. Works well: https://github.com/intel/pepc . However, the project may be too complex to serve as good and clear example. But FWIW.
I am too busy with other things, yet if someone is interested: https://gist.github.com/s-hemer/760f13ced6f4f6d99b0cddde5757470f
Hello, the project was moved and now owned by a new team. Please, work with them. Check the README.md file. Thanks!
