I tried:

  1. Setting programs.bash.enableCompletion = true; in my nixos config. This appears to enable completions for most nix related commands, but nothing for nixops.
  2. With enableCompletion = true still, cloning this repo and sourcing _nix, which doesn't change anything for nixops.
  3. Rebuilding with enableCompletion = false (and verifying that I no longer have completions for any nix commands), and attempting to source _nix leads to bash: _nix: line 496: syntax error near unexpected token '('.

To turn on the current implementation, simply:

I've been using nixops a lot recently, but I've never looked at how bash completions work. When I feel like taking the dive I'll give it a go though! :)
