Shell completion

[yermulnik]

Requesting a new feature 🧑‍💻

Would be great to have Shell completion (for Bash at least) bundled into a deb-get package. Is there an item in deb-get's roadmap on adding such a feature?

Expected behavior

Shell completion is installed along with deb-get package and users can utilise tab-completion for commands and parameters.

Actual behavior

Shell completion is not install and hasn't been added to deb-get as of yet.

Steps to reproduce

Install deb-get and run deb-get<tab><tab>

I like this idea, anything that can save me a few key presses.

I came up with an implementation, but without the optimizations from https://github.com/natanjunges/deb-get/tree/extrepo, which is a WIP implementation for #313, it is too slow. I'll wait until #313 is finished and merged before submitting it.
