a follow-up on Bash auto-completion

Posted on March 2, 2009. Filed under: Debian, human computer interaction, sys admin | Tags: , , |

I had other Bash-related posts in the past, like For purpose of reference: command history based auto-completion in Bash and another useful Bash skill on using !! for command repetition.

This one is just some kind of follow-up: I noticed a post in Debian Package of the Day regarding auto-completion in Bash. I found it worth sharing, so I do: bash-completion: the greatest things since bash completion. It sheds light on auto-completion for command-line tools such as Subversion (svn) or mpg123. Also, the article has valuable reader comments regarding skipping the auto-completion, and friendly quirks in using it with ssh and else.
