Generate-autocompletion

Generate automagically bash autocompletion for any command that admits the gnu long option --help.

##Quick Start

git clone https://github.com/liloman/generate-autocompletion
cd generate-autocompletion
./generate-autocompletion stat
source ~/.local/share/bash-completion/completions/stat

##Install

Copy/soft link generate-autocompletion.sh into .local/bin and update your .bashrc/.bash_profile/... accordingly.

##Tests

You can run tests using Bats.

[[ -f /etc/lsb-release ]] && bats test/ubuntu.bats
[[ -f /etc/fedora-release ]] && bats test/fedora.bats

Should output something like:

➬bats tests/fedora.bats
✓ command without arguments
✓ command without options/verbs
✓ command without software
✓ command with standalone options only
✓ command with both options 
✓ command with both options 2
✓ command with verbs 1
✓ command with verbs 2
✓ command with verbs 3
✓ command without autocompletion already

10 tests, 0 failures

##TODO

• Implement something like zsh auto fu with bash simple curses or via bash plugin (ctypes.sh way)
• Recheck results against man pages also to detect false positives
• Able to parse commands like cpupower with "old output style"
