Built by Bram(us) Van Damme (https://www.bram.us) and Contributors

Prerequisites

If the complete command is not available on your system, you can install bash-completion using Homebrew

brew install bash-completion

Installation

Download the file composer-autocomplete from this repo

curl -#L https://github.com/bramus/composer-autocomplete/tarball/master | tar -xzv --strip-components 1 --exclude={LICENSE,README.md}

Move the file composer-autocomplete to ~

mv ./composer-autocomplete ~/composer-autocomplete

Load composer-autocomplete from within your ~/.bash_profile

Either manually add this snippet to your ~/.bash_profile:

if [ -f "$HOME/composer-autocomplete" ] ; then
    . $HOME/composer-autocomplete
fi

Or use this set of commands to do it automatically:

echo "" >> ~/.bash_profile
echo 'if [ -f "$HOME/composer-autocomplete" ] ; then' >> ~/.bash_profile
echo '    . $HOME/composer-autocomplete' >> ~/.bash_profile
echo "fi" >> ~/.bash_profile

Restart your shell, or reload your ~/.bash_profile
```
source ~/.bash_profile
```
