@mrinalwadhwa Hi! Please, could you clarify if the shell completion described in the following articles is the same referred to in this issue?

1. How to create a Bash completion script
2. Shell Auto Completion in Linux

If so, could I be assigned? I'd love to try my hand at this.

PS: The link to install.sh above is broken. Found it in the tools directory, though.

@Wryhder there's a detailed step on how to setup shell completion in this comment, Homebrew also has a writeup on how they setup bash completion https://docs.brew.sh/Shell-Completion. Here's how I will setup shell completion if it's only for zsh which I use In the install.sh script, I will

• create a new function called install_autocomplete_zsh
• Check if the ~/.zshrc file exist
• Create a file $HOME/.ockam/autocomplete/zsh/_ockam which will contain the autocomplete commands
• Add autocomplete path to zshrc

install_autocomplete_zsh() {
  mkdir $HOME/.ockam/autocomplete

  if [[ ! -f "~/.zshrc" ]]; then
     echo "system doesn't support zsh shell"
     return
  fi
  
  mkdir $HOME/.ockam/autocomplete/zsh
  ockam autocomplete zsh > $HOME/.ockam/autocomplete/zsh/_ockam 
  info "Adding autocomplete to zsh"
  echo >>"~/.zshrc"
  echo "FPATH="$HOME/.ockam/autocomplete/zsh:${FPATH}" >> "~/.zshrc"
  echo "autoload -Uz compinit" >> "~/.zshrc"
  echo "compinit" >> "~/.zshrc"
}

I hope this helps
