You can enable autocompletion in geth just running a bash script (Linux/MacOS) or a powershell script (Windows).
|
|
|
|
### Linux/MacOS
|
|
|
|
1. Create a bash script file with the content below and save as `geth-autocompletion` anywhere in your computer (i.e. `/bin/geth-autocompletion`):
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
#! /bin/bash
|
|
|
|
: ${PROG:=$(basename ${BASH_SOURCE})}
|
|
|
|
_cli_bash_autocomplete() {
|
|
if [[ "${COMP_WORDS[0]}" != "source" ]]; then
|
|
local cur opts base
|
|
COMPREPLY=()
|
|
cur="${COMP_WORDS[COMP_CWORD]}"
|
|
if [[ "$cur" == "-"* ]]; then
|
|
opts=$( ${COMP_WORDS[@]:0:$COMP_CWORD} ${cur} --generate-bash-completion )
|
|
else
|
|
opts=$( ${COMP_WORDS[@]:0:$COMP_CWORD} --generate-bash-completion )
|
|
fi
|
|
COMPREPLY=( $(compgen -W "${opts}" -- ${cur}) )
|
|
return 0
|
|
fi
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
complete -o bashdefault -o default -o nospace -F _cli_bash_autocomplete $PROG
|
|
unset PROG
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
2. Open and edit your **startup script** depending on the terminal in use (i.e. `~/.bashrc` or `~/.zshrc`).
|
|
|
|
3. Includes this command in the final of your **startup script**:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# i.e. PROG=geth source /bin/geth-autocompletion
|
|
PROG=geth source /path/to/autocomplete/geth-autocompletion-script
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Windows
|
|
|
|
1. Create a powershell script file with the content below and save as `geth.ps1` anywhere in your computer.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$fn = $($MyInvocation.MyCommand.Name)
|
|
$name = $fn -replace "(.*)\.ps1$", '$1'
|
|
Register-ArgumentCompleter -Native -CommandName $name -ScriptBlock {
|
|
param($commandName, $wordToComplete, $cursorPosition)
|
|
$other = "$wordToComplete --generate-bash-completion"
|
|
Invoke-Expression $other | ForEach-Object {
|
|
[System.Management.Automation.CompletionResult]::new($_, $_, 'ParameterValue', $_)
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
2. Open the PowerShell profile (`code $profile` or `notepad $profile`) and add the line:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
& path/to/autocomplete/geth.ps1
|
|
```
|
