Chapter 2. Configuring the CLI

2.1. Enabling tab completion

After you install the oc CLI tool, you can enable tab completion to automatically complete oc commands or suggest options when you press Tab.

Prerequisites

You must have the oc CLI tool installed.

Procedure

The following procedure enables tab completion for Bash.

Save the Bash completion code to a file.

$ oc completion bash > oc_bash_completion

Copy the file to /etc/bash_completion.d/.
```
$ sudo cp oc_bash_completion /etc/bash_completion.d/
```
You can also save the file to a local directory and source it from your .bashrc file instead.

Tab completion is enabled when you open a new terminal.
