Autocompletion

Setting up autocompletion for Wrestic is very easy.
The only thing you have to know is which is your shell.
If you don’t know which is your shell, you can run:

echo $SHELL

So… How can I get autocompletions?
Just run:

wrestic completions <YOUR SHELL NAME>

This command will show via console the script you need for your shell.
To get autocompletion, you must save this script in a file in the respective completions folder of your shell.
Taking bash as an example, you can run:

wrestic completions <YOUR SHELL NAME> > /etc/bash_completion.d/wrestic

BASH USERS, YOUR ATTENTION PLEASE:
Keep in mind that if your shell is BASH you’ll need a very popular package called:
