hugo-completion-bash1

Generate the autocompletion script for bash

Usage

hugo completion bash

Overview

Generate the autocompletion script for the bash shell.

This script depends on the 'bash-completion' package. If it is not installed already, you can install it via your OS's package manager.

To load completions in your current shell session:

source <(hugo completion bash)

To load completions for every new session, execute once:

Linux:

hugo completion bash > /etc/bash_completion.d/hugo

macOS:

hugo completion bash > $(brew --prefix)/etc/bash_completion.d/hugo

You will need to start a new shell for this setup to take effect.
