Autocompletion

I like the idea, though I don't know how it should work:

It kinda seems like we could just have a few templates that are filled in. zsh completion doesn't seem that hard to generate. https://mads-hartmann.com/2017/08/06/writing-zsh-completion-scripts.html

I would add it as "completion $SHELL" so, like kubectl, you can just run it with your shell name and it'll insert it into the current environment. (or source it). Perhaps protect it with a setting, so if people want to use completion as one of their commands, it doesn't contradict.

we could make it something pretty unlikely and default; you do not often use --shell-completion as an argument for your source file name, right?

No, I don't.

That sounds like a plan to me. If I have any time, I'll take a stab at it.

Are you going to the conj, by any chance?

pip3 has it too:

[~]$ pip3 completion --bash

# pip bash completion start
_pip_completion()
{
    COMPREPLY=( $( COMP_WORDS="${COMP_WORDS[*]}" \
                   COMP_CWORD=$COMP_CWORD \
                   PIP_AUTO_COMPLETE=1 $1 ) )
}
complete -o default -F _pip_completion pip3
# pip bash completion end

$ pip3 completion --fish $ pip3 completion --zsh
