[kwlug-disc] Bash Autocompletion (Nov 2022)

[Bob Jonkman]

Autocomplete for Nextcloud's occ would be very useful.

I'm currently using an alias to make occ more like a regular command:

 > alias occ='sudo -u www-data php -f /var/www/nextcloud/occ'

Now if I could get the occ command to autocomplete command, subcommands, 
and parameters it would save me having to open a separate terminal just 
for the 'occ -h' output

--Bob.
