Example

Write a bash file. This Example autocompletes words for example with one of "init install store search deploy bump push pull help sync info remove version autocomplete", and then repeats a similar ordeal for the second word if it is store or show to autocomplete to the list "test".

#!/bin/bash
_example_options()
{
   local cur prev

   cur=${COMP_WORDS[COMP_CWORD]}
   prev=${COMP_WORDS[COMP_CWORD-1]}

   case ${COMP_CWORD} in
       1)
           COMPREPLY=($(compgen -W "init install store search deploy bump push pull help sync info remove version autocomplete" -- ${cur}))
       ;;
       2)
           case ${prev} in
               store)
                   COMPREPLY=($(compgen -W "test" -- ${cur}))
               ;;
               show)
                   COMPREPLY=($(compgen -W "test" -- ${cur}))
               ;;
           esac
       ;;
       *)
           COMPREPLY=()
       ;;
