Install bash-completion on a Mac

To install bash-completion on a Mac, you will first need to have the Homebrew package manager installed. If you don’t have it, you can install it by running the following command in the terminal:

/usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"

Once you have Homebrew installed, you can use it to install bash-completion by running the following command:

brew install bash-completion

You will then need to add the following line to your ~/.bash_profile file:

  [[ -r "/opt/homebrew/etc/profile.d/bash_completion.sh" ]] && . "/opt/homebrew/etc/profile.d/bash_completion.sh"

After you have done this, restart your terminal and bash-completion should be working.
