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 gen autocomplete 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 gen autocomplete [flags] ``` ### Options ``` --completionfile string autocompletion file (default "/etc/bash_completion.d/hugo.sh") -h, --help help for autocomplete --type string autocompletion type (currently only bash supported) (default "bash") ``` ### Options inherited from parent commands ``` --config string config file (default is path/config.yaml|json|toml) --log enable Logging --logFile string log File path (if set, logging enabled automatically) --quiet build in quiet mode -v, --verbose verbose output --verboseLog verbose logging ``` ### SEE ALSO * [hugo gen](/commands/hugo_gen/) - A collection of several useful generators. ###### Auto generated by spf13/cobra on 22-Jun-2017
