do\n  . $bcfile\ndone\n```\n\nRef: [ServerFault.com: _Standard place for user defined bash_completion.d scripts?_](https://serverfault.com/questions/506612/standard-place-for-user-defined-bash-completion-d-scripts)\n\nCreate a directiory for your completions:\n\n```bash\n$ mkdir ~/.bash_completion.d\n```\n\nCopy your completions into the newly created directory:\n\n```bash\n$ cp cpanm ~/.bash_completion.d/\n```\n\nStart a new shell and you should be good to go.\n\n### System-wide example from Debian\n\nBased on [an introduction](https://debian-administration.org/article/316/An_introduction_to_bash_completion_part_1) to `bash` completions on Debian.\n\n```bash\n$ sudo cp cpanm /etc/bash_completion.d/\n```\n\n### System-wide example from OSX\n\nThis assumes you are using **Homebrew**\n\nDo note that paths vary based on whether you are using `bash` 3 or 4\n\n#### `bash` 3 (Formula: `bash-completions`):\n\n```bash\n$ cp cpanm /usr/local/etc/bash_completion.d/\n```\n\nAnd to activate right away:\n\n```bash\n$ source  /usr/local/etc/bash_completion.d/cpanm\n```\n\n#### `bash` 4 (Formula: `bash-completions2`)\n\n```bash\n$ cp cpanm /usr/local/share/bash-completion/completions/\n```\n\nAnd to activate right away:\n\n```bash\n$ source /usr/local/share/bash-completion/completions/cpanm\n```\n\n## Motivation\n\n`cpanm` is an important tool in my toolchain, so I wanted to have easy access to all the options available.\n\nThe programmatic capabilities of `bash` are truly powerful and useful and can be put to good use in use-cases like this.\n\n## See Also\n\nA more elaborate piece of documentation on `bash` completions is available from **The Linux Documentation Project** in the [Advanced Bash-Scripting Guide](http://tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/tabexpansion.html).\n\nFrom the [GNU Documentation](https://www.gnu.org/software/bash/manual/html_node/Programmable-Completion.html).\n\nGood two-part article, \"An Introduction to Bash Completion\": [Part 1](https://debian-administration.org/article/316/An_introduction_to_bash_completion_part_1) and [Part 2](https://debian-administration.org/article/317/An_introduction_to_bash_completion_part_2).\n\nPlease note that this experimental implementation has only been tested with `bash` version 3.\n\nThe most comprehensive collection of `bash` completions I have come across is [the one](https://github.com/scop/bash-completion) from the **Debian Linux distribution**. It is also the one offered for OSX via **Homebrew**.\n\n## License\n\nThis is made available under the MIT license, see separate license file.\n\n## Copyright\n\n:copyright: jonasbn 2017\n","funding_links":[],"categories":[],"sub_categories":[],"project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fjonasbn%2Fbash_completion_cpanm","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fjonasbn%2Fbash_completion_cpanm","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fjonasbn%2Fbash_completion_cpanm/lists"}
