Shell completion script for the builder #56

Open fwilhe opened 7 months ago

fwilhe commented 7 months ago

What would you like to be added:

It would be great if the builder had completion, reading out the actual available features in the current image being built.

For example in GL it should be like

./build k[tab][tab]
kvm

cf: https://iridakos.com/programming/2018/03/01/bash-programmable-completion-tutorial

Why is this needed:

Developer experience would be better, both for seasoned contributors and for newcomers.

Thanks for pointing me towards here. In general, I do not use shell. Instead, I would use complgen. I might take a look at this week.

I've taken some time to understand a bit more how we're building our product and derived some more ideas to build up the completion. This works for fish more well now:

I'm currently unable to perform proper subword matches after defined the platform. I've created an issue with the project , but I might do something wrong here. If this is not going to get address until EOW, we might close this down and move on to more important tasks.

The problem was resolved. Thanks to @nkraetzschmar for pointing to my error. We have now a working MVP for bash.
