IPython bash completion

Bash complete script to get completion in the terminal.
Works only with bash.

The contained completion routines provide support for completing:

• subcommands
• options for ipython and subcommands (derived by --help)
• nbconvert --to={latex, markdown, rst, html, custom, python, slides}
• nbconvert --post={pdf| serve} (dependent on --to)
• nbconvert --template={basic, article, book|basic, full} (dependent on --to)
• ipython filename.py completion
• ipython {notebook, nbconvert} filename.ipynb completion

The script uses the --help and --help-all option to get all possible options. If this is too slow, it would be possible to add a preprocessing step (not implemented).

Current limitations:

• no logic is implemented to validate combinations
• folder completion does not strip dotdirs
• option choices are not parsed but hardcoded

Install

1. clone the repo into the .config/ipython directory (or any other directory)
2. source the script / add the following line to your .bashrc/.zshrc (adapt if necessary):

source ~/.config/ipython/IPy_bash_complete/ipython-completion.bash
