### Bash Completion
You can enable completion commands by setting the EnableBashCompletion
flag on the App object. By default, this setting will only auto-complete to
show an app's subcommands, but you can write your own completion methods for
the App or its subcommands.
```go
...
var tasks = []string{"cook", "clean", "laundry", "eat", "sleep", "code"}
app := cli.NewApp()
app.EnableBashCompletion = true
app.Commands = []cli.Command{
{
Name: "complete",
ShortName: "c",
Usage: "complete a task on the list",
Action: func(c *cli.Context) {
println("completed task: ", c.Args().First())
},
BashComplete: func(c *cli.Context) {
// This will complete if no args are passed
if len(c.Args()) > 0 {
return
}
for _, t := range tasks {
println(t)
}
},
}
}
...
```
#### To Enable
Source the autocomplete/bash_autocomplete file in your .bashrc file while
setting the PROG variable to the name of your program:
`PROG=myprogram source /.../cli/autocomplete/bash_autocomplete`
## About
