Add bash completions

Open Jai-JAP opened this issue 2 years ago • 3 comments

Add bash completions for aptpac so that commands an be auto completed using <tab><tab>. I am not sure but the bash completions file of apt may help a lot here. Also I may try doing this if I get a chance.

I got an idea how to easily accomplish this. Just take a look on Pacman bash completion file https://gitlab.archlinux.org/pacman/pacman/-/blob/master/scripts/completion/bash_completion.in

@Itai-Nelken here is the first version of bash completion. Working well based on preliminary testing.
