Composer Update Autocomplete for Bash

This small tool allows using Bash autocompletion (with <TAB><TAB>) when updating Composer modules.

It first tries to find the composer.json file on the current working directory, then searches each non-hidden child directory (in parallel) until it finds one. It does not recursively search the child directories.

Why

I was tired of typing very long and easy to misspell module names at work.

How (to use)

• Download the binary
• Add any of the following lines to your .bashrc file:

complete -C /path/to/binary docker-compose run --rm composer update # add this if you (like me) run composer inside a docker container
complete -C /path/to/binary docker-compose run composer update # add this in case you forget to do --rm
complete -C /path/to/binary composer update # add this if you use a composer installation (or in my case, an alias for the above)
