Bash Completion !

Everyone loves bash for one simple reason : ” tab completion “

I find it quite difficult working on shell’s other than the bash shell because I simply love the auto-complete feature of bash and I keep pressing for file name completion….etc etc

I’m a lazy sys admin and I don’t love to type :D . If you are like me then you will definately love the package bash_completion which will also complete argument’s to a command when is pressed. Like for example :

[digen@ws61 ~]$ tar
A c d r t u x

After pressing tab it returned the argument’s of the command tar. Kewl !
You can get the source package from here
. RPM binaries are also available and instructions for installing is also provided.
