How to do tab auto completion on CentOS8 & Amazon Linux2
Both are Linux based OS, most of them have this installed by default
Tab Auto Completion for CentOS
Prerequisite:
- Beginner knowledge of Linux bash not required but it will make it ease.
- CentOS any stream will work but this is focused on CentOS8
Situation: After using Ubuntu , I felt like I was missing the quick tap auto completion very badly. So I'm doing this post just for this Tab auto completion. I tried this after looking at several other posts and its working for me.
Just two commands are needed
Make sure you update your CentOS, if you are the root user leave out sudo keyword.
sudo yum update
now apply your password
Use this command to install bash auto completion
sudo yum search bash-completion
Logoff or exit out of the server and log back in to check if its working
It works now, enjoy :-)
Amazon Linux2 Tab auto Completion

sudo yum install bash-completion
