What problem are you facing?
As a user, I find auto-completion scripts help me to identify the available commands and parameters to commands. I can use tab-completion to avoid breaking out of the command I am typing to uncover simple CLI usage details, like the name, spelling, hyphenation, or existence of a particular parameter.
The Packet CLI does not include auto-completion scripts for my shell, Bash.
How can Packet help?
The CLI should include a command to generate the autocomplete scripts. This can be implemented here, taking advantage of spf-13/cobra support for the feature, described here: https://github.com/spf13/cobra/blob/master/shell_completions.md (more here https://github.com/spf13/cobra/blob/master/bash_completions.md).
Once the
packet-cli completion bash(equivalent) command exists,makeshould incorporate this.The current approach to triggering generators is to set specific environment variables, this experience could be improved as command-line arguments.
