Bash autocompletion for Symfony Console based scripts

Symfony console autocomplete

Enables shell autocompletion for tools based on the Symfony2 Console (Symfony framework, Composer, PHPSpec, Behat, etc.)

Installation

Install the tool globally with Composer :

composer global require bamarni/symfony-console-autocomplete

Quick setup (recommended)

Add the following line at the end of your shell configuration file (~/.bash_profile or ~/.zshrc) :

eval "$(symfony-autocomplete)"

Close / re-open your terminal window and you're ready to go!

Static setup

If you don't like all the magic from the quick setup and want to go with a more standard way, you can dump a static completion file for a given tool :

symfony-autocomplete composer

This will print the completion script for Composer to stdout. The output should be saved at a specific location depending on your OS / setup. Here are a few examples :

Ubuntu / Debian

symfony-autocomplete composer | sudo tee /etc/bash_completion.d/composer

Mac OSX (with Homebrew "bash-completion")

symfony-autocomplete composer > $(brew --prefix)/etc/bash_completion.d/composer

Supported tools

All tools using the Symfony Console component are supported, here is a non-exhaustive list :

• composer
• php-cs-fixer
• behat
• phpspec
