Bash Autocomplete Depends on bash-completion Library #1067

Open sshaw opened 7 years ago

sshaw commented 7 years ago

It uses _get_cword, which is part of the bash-completion library.

I'm not seeing the problem here. If you want to use bash autocomplete shouldn't you have the bash-completion library installed anyhow?

No, an external library is not necessary. Bash has builtin commands for this.

@sshaw I'd love to see how much code is required to remove the dependency on bash-completion. Care to throw together a PR for us?
