Alibaba Cloud CLI command auto-completion for bash and zsh -

Alibaba Cloud CLI auto-completes commands and lists suggestions as you type in bash or zsh on Linux and macOS.

Supported platforms and shells

Auto-completion relies on the shell completion mechanism (COMP_LINE and COMP_POINT environment variables). The following table lists supported platforms and shells.

Operating system	Shell	Supported
Linux	bash	Supported
Linux	zsh	Supported
macOS	bash	Supported
macOS	zsh	Supported
Windows	CMD	Not supported
Windows	PowerShell	Not supported

Enable or disable auto-completion

Run the following commands to enable or disable auto-completion.

Enable auto-completion:
```
aliyun auto-completion
```
This writes a completion script to ~/.bashrc or ~/.bash_profile (bash) or ~/.zshrc (zsh). Reopen the terminal or run source ~/.bashrc / source ~/.zshrc to apply.
Disable auto-completion:
```
aliyun auto-completion --uninstall
```
This removes the completion script from ~/.bashrc or ~/.zshrc and creates a .bck backup file.

Auto-completion completes entries or displays suggestions as you type. The following examples demonstrate this behavior.

Example 2: Auto-complete a parameter

Type a partial parameter and press Tab.
