#3Is there anything like completion for ash within Alpine containers, or do you have to install Bash?
Re: How Bash Completion Works
#4Great tutorial! I’ve always wondered how this is implemented, and how I could add it to my scripts. The interface seems simple enough.

To be fair. Bash does not have a large footprint.

#6Love the implementation.
Can't help but think about another "startup" or project that uses Machine Learning to predict your bash commands... which in most if not all cases is probably not necessary XD.

#8Nice article, it’s usually hard to keep a reader’s interest when writing about shell.
I will nitpick that COMP_LINE et al are shell variables, not environment variables - you can tell by the fact you don’t need to export the “return value”. (Scare quotes, as the function’s exit code, manually specifiable with “return NN”, is also called its return value.)

#9Cool read. I was recently wondering how this worked. I was using zsh but I assume the implementation is similar.

#10> `function _fizzbuzz () {`
I find that extra keyword distracting, when [POSIX.2 doesn't require it][1] and some folks going so far as to say to [actively avoid it][2]
Is there some good reason for it, or people are just used to a programming language requiring `fun` before a declaration, so it's programmer muscle memory?
