This software provides Bash completion for Bazaar, a version control system. It allows users to easily and quickly complete commands, options, and arguments in the Bash shell, making Bazaar usage more efficient.
BZR Bash-Completion is a plugin designed for Bazaar, which generates a shell function that can be utilized by bash to automatically finish the currently typed command. This is achieved when the user presses the completion key, typically tab. It is possible to use this plugin either as a bzr plugin, or alternatively, directly.
If you want to use the script as a bzr plugin, you only need to follow a few steps. If not, grab the bashcomp.py and place it anywhere you'd like. Creating a directory and changing your current directory is the way to go.
When you use it as a plugin, it is the preferred method to generate and initialize the completion because it ensures proper bzr initialization. You can achieve this by using the following command: eval "`bzr bash-completion`"
On the other hand, if bzrlib is accessible to Python scripts, you can use the following invocation as an alternative, which should result in the same outcome and does not necessitate you to add a plugin. However, it might have some problems: eval "`./bashcomp.py`"
The plugin (or script) is designed to create a completion function that has all of the relevant information about the possible completions. This is frequently only completed once when bash initializes. As a result, invoking bzr for each and every completion is not required, resulting in a considerably faster function. However, updates to bzr or its plugins will not appear in the completions immediately but only after the completion function has been regenerated.
