Bash Completion on Mac OS X

One of the many nifty features of bash is that it provides context-sensitive completion, but for some reason this capability isn’t part of the bash that ships with Mac OS X.

To rectify the oversight, first install the bash_completion port via MacPorts:

$ sudo port install bash-completion

And then modify your ~/.profile as directed, e.g., by adding:

if [ -f /opt/local/etc/bash_completion ]; then
    . /opt/local/etc/bash_completion
fi

To load the collection of completion hooks, create the symlink ~/.bash_completion.d

$ ln -s /opt/local/etc/bash_completion.d/ ~/.bash_completion.d

Next, above the other block added to ~/.profile, add:

export USER_BASH_COMPLETION_DIR=~/.bash_completion.d

If you want use git-completion hooks, simple install from ports git-core with bash completion hooks

sudo port install git-core +bash_completion
