Enabling tab completion for Bash

After you install the OpenShift CLI (oc), you can enable tab completion to automatically complete oc commands or suggest options when you press Tab. The following procedure enables tab completion for the Bash shell.

Prerequisites

  • You must have the OpenShift CLI (oc) installed.

  • You must have the package bash-completion installed.

Procedure

  1. Save the Bash completion code to a file:

    $ oc completion bash > oc_bash_completion

  2. Copy the file to /etc/bash_completion.d/:

    $ sudo cp oc_bash_completion /etc/bash_completion.d/

    You can also save the file to a local directory and source it from your .bashrc file instead. Tab completion is enabled when you open a new terminal.
