To have autocomplete enabled, source snip_bash_autocomplete or snip_zsh_autocomplete. E.g. copy one of these (depending on your shell) to /local/path and then add the below to your .bashrc or .zhsrc:

autoload -U compinit && compinit
autoload -U bashcompinit && bashcompinit

source /local/path/snip_bash_autocomplete
# Or
