Configuring the OpenShift CLI

Enabling tab completion

After you install the oc CLI tool, you can enable tab completion to automatically complete oc commands or suggest options when you press Tab.

Prerequisites

  • You must have the oc CLI tool installed.

  • You must have the package bash-completion installed.

Procedure

The following procedure enables tab completion for Bash.

  1. Save the Bash completion code to a file.

    1. $ oc completion bash > oc_bash_completion

  2. Copy the file to /etc/bash_completion.d/.

    1. $ sudo cp oc_bash_completion /etc/bash_completion.d/

    You can also save the file to a local directory and source it from your .bashrc file instead.

Tab completion is enabled when you open a new terminal.
