Then we will create a Bash completion script that will display commands along with their number from the user’s history, and we will “bind” it to the dothis executable.Ħ32 source dothis-completion.bash 649 source dothis-completion.bash 666 cat ~ /.bash_profileĦ34 source dothis-completion.bash 651 source dothis-completion.bash 668 clearĦ35 source dothis-completion.bash 652 source dothis-completion.bash 669 install. For example, the following command will simply execute the ls -a command, given that it exists in history with number 235: dothis 235 All it does is execute the command that resides on the number that was passed as an argument in the user’s history.
We will first create a dummy executable script called dothis. preventing errors and improving their experience by hiding or showing options based on what they have already typed.helping them know the available continuations to their commands.saving them from typing text when it can be auto-completed.The nature of the completion options vary, from simple static to highly sophisticated.
MAC GIT BASH COMPLETION CODE
The completion script is code that uses the builtin Bash command complete to define which completion suggestions can be displayed for a given executable.
