## Describe the Bug The only shell with completion support is zsh, which leav…es a lot of people who use bash without command completion. ## Steps To Reproduce Run bw completion bash ## Expected Result The completion code for bash would be generated (or installed?) ## Actual Result The shell is unsupported. ## Comments I've attempted to write a basic bash completion script, which can be sourced from `.bashrc`. It works okayish, but I might need some help to get it integrated into the cli app, since I'm not sure how to go about this! Here's the current script: ```bash #!/usr/bin/env bash # Return if not interactive [[ $- != *i* ]] && return # Base options for bw __BW_BASE_OPTS=" --pretty --raw --response --quiet --nointeraction --session -v --version -h --help " # Base commands for bw __BW_BASE_COMMANDS=" login logout lock unlock sync generate encode config update completion status list get create edit delete restore share confirm import export send receive help " # Generic help options for simple commands __BW_HELP_OPTS=" -h --help " # Options for bw login __BW_LOGIN_OPTS=" --method --code --sso --apikey --passwordenv --passwordfile --check -h --help " # Options for bw unlock __BW_UNLOCK_OPTS=" --raw --check -h --help " # Options for bw sync __BW_SYNC_OPTS=" -f --force --last -h --help " # Options for bw generate __BW_GENERATE_OPTS=" -u --uppercase -l --lowercase -n --number -s --special -p --passphrase --length --words --separator -h --help " # Options for bw config __BW_CONFIG_OPTS=" --web-vault --api --identity --icons --notifications --events -h --help " # Objects for bw config __BW_CONFIG_OBJECTS=" server " # Options for bw update __BW_UPDATE_OPTS=" --raw -h --help " # Options for bw list __BW_LIST_OPTS=" --search --url --folderid --collectionid --organizationid --trash -h --help " # Objects for bw list __BW_LIST_OBJECTS=" items folders collections organizations org-collections org-members " # Options for bw get __BW_GET_OPTS=" --itemid --output --organizationid -h --help " # Objects for bw get __BW_GET_OBJECTS=" item username password uri totp exposed attachment folder collection org-collection organization template fingerprint send email " # Options for bw create __BW_CREATE_OPTS=" --file --itemid --organizationid -h --help " # Objects for bw create __BW_CREATE_OBJECTS=" item attachment folder org-collection " # Options for bw edit __BW_EDIT_OPTS=" --organizationid -h --help " # Objects for bw edit __BW_EDIT_OBJECTS=" item item-collections folder org-collection " # Options for bw delete __BW_DELETE_OPTS=" --itemid --organizationid -p --permanent -h --help " # Objects for bw delete __BW_DELETE_OBJECTS=" item attachment folder org-collection " # Objects for bw restore __BW_RESTORE_OBJECTS=" item " # Options for bw confirm __BW_CONFIRM_OPTS=" --organizationid -h --help " # Objects for bw confirm __BW_CONFIRM_OBJECTS=" org-member " # Options for bw import __BW_IMPORT_OPTS=" --formats -h --help " # Options for bw export __BW_EXPORT_OPTS=" --output --format --raw --organizationid -h --help " # Options for bw send __BW_SEND_OPTS=" -f --file -d --deleteInDays --hidden -n --name --notes --fullObject -h --help " # Objects for bw send __BW_SEND_OBJECTS=" list template get receive create edit remove-password delete " # Options for bw receive __BW_RECEIVE_OPTS=" --password --passwordenv --passwordfile --obj --output -h --help " __bw_generic_completion() { local cur COMPREPLY=() cur="${COMP_WORDS[COMP_CWORD]}" if [[ "${COMP_WORDS[COMP_CWORD]}" =~ ^- ]]; then COMPREPLY=($(compgen -W "$1" -- "$cur")) return 0 else COMPREPLY=($(compgen -W "$2" -- "$cur")) return 0 fi } __bw_completion() { local prev prev="${COMP_WORDS[COMP_CWORD - 1]}" case "$prev" in login) __bw_generic_completion "$__BW_LOGIN_OPTS" "" ;; logout | lock | encode | status | share) __bw_generic_completion "$__BW_HELP_OPTS" "" ;; unlock) __bw_generic_completion "$__BW_UNLOCK_OPTS" "" ;; sync) __bw_generic_completion "$__BW_SYNC_OPTS" "" ;; generate) __bw_generic_completion "$__BW_GENERATE_OPTS" "" ;; config) __bw_generic_completion "$__BW_CONFIG_OPTS" "$__BW_CONFIG_OBJECTS" ;; update) __bw_generic_completion "$__BW_UPDATE_OPTS" "" ;; list) __bw_generic_completion "$__BW_LIST_OPTS" "$__BW_LIST_OBJECTS" ;; get) __bw_generic_completion "$__BW_GET_OPTS" "$__BW_GET_OBJECTS" ;; create) __bw_generic_completion "$__BW_CREATE_OPTS" "$__BW_CREATE_OBJECTS" ;; edit) __bw_generic_completion "$__BW_EDIT_OPTS" "$__BW_EDIT_OBJECTS" ;; delete) __bw_generic_completion "$__BW_DELETE_OPTS" "$__BW_DELETE_OBJECTS" ;; restore) __bw_generic_completion "$__BW_HELP_OPTS" "$__BW_RESTORE_OBJECTS" ;; confirm) __bw_generic_completion "$__BW_CONFIRM_OPTS" "$__BW_CONFIRM_OBJECTS" ;; import) __bw_generic_completion "$__BW_IMPORT_OPTS" "" ;; export) __bw_generic_completion "$__BW_EXPORT_OPTS" "" ;; send) __bw_generic_completion "$__BW_SEND_OPTS" "$__BW_SEND_OBJECTS" ;; receive) __bw_generic_completion "$__BW_RECEIVE_OPTS" "" ;; bw) __bw_generic_completion "$__BW_BASE_OPTS" "$__BW_BASE_COMMANDS" ;; *) __bw_generic_completion "" esac } complete -o default -F __bw_completion bw ```

Not much going on in this regard
There was also Fish completion support · Issue #263 · bitwarden/cli · GitHub
I created completions for nushell a while ago nu_scripts/custom-completions/bitwarden-cli at main · nushell/nu_scripts · GitHub
Currently I’m looking into completion for fish

Hi, are you still working on that fish completion? I’d love to help out if possible.
