# iai completion bash

Generate the autocompletion script for bash

## Synopsis

Generate the autocompletion script for the bash shell.

This script depends on the 'bash-completion' package. If it is not installed already, you can install it via your OS's package manager.

To load completions in your current shell session:

```
source <(iai completion bash)
```

To load completions for every new session, execute once:

### Linux:

```
iai completion bash > /etc/bash_completion.d/iai
```

### macOS:

```
iai completion bash > $(brew --prefix)/etc/bash_completion.d/iai
```

You will need to start a new shell for this setup to take effect.

```
iai completion bash
```

## Options

```
  -h, --help              help for bash
      --no-descriptions   disable completion descriptions
```

## Options inherited from parent commands

```
      --api-key string               API key for authentication
      --cfg-file string              Path to YAML config file with organization, project, and optional service definitions
      --deployment-hostname string   Hostname for the deployment API (default "https://deployment.interactive.ai")
      --hostname string              Hostname for the API (default "https://app.interactive.ai")
