## hugo genautocomplete

Generate shell autocompletion script for Hugo

### Synopsis


Generates a shell autocompletion script for Hugo.
	
	NOTE: The current version supports Bash only. This should work for *nix systems with Bash installed.
	
	By default the file is written directly to /etc/bash_completion.d for convenience and the command may need superuser rights, e.g:
	
	sudo hugo genautocomplete
	
	Add --completionfile=/path/to/file flag to set alternative file-path and name.
	
	Logout and in again to reload the completion scripts or just source them in directly:
	
	. /etc/bash_completion
	

```
hugo genautocomplete
```

### Options

```
      --completionfile="/etc/bash_completion.d/hugo.sh": Autocompletion file
  -h, --help=false: help for genautocomplete
      --type="bash": Autocompletion type (currently only bash supported)
