Vagrant: Add bash completion to vagrant

[dol]

It would be nice to add bash completion when entering 'vagrant [tab][tab]'.

Debian example

[mitchellh]

This would be a "cool to have" feature for Vagrant 1.0. Marked as a feature request.

[mitchellh]

You can find bash completion here, actually: https://github.com/nfedyashev/bash-it/blob/master/plugins/vagrant.plugins.bash

I've asked for permission to include this in the Vagrant source itself but he hasn't given it yet :)

For the benefit of people finding this ticket via google, this code seems to live here now: https://github.com/kura/vagrant-bash-completion

[neurogenesis]

just updating this thread for OS X users:

for bash

# requires homebrew
brew tap homebrew/completions
brew install vagrant-completion
# add following to bashrc
if [ -f `brew --prefix`/etc/bash_completion.d/vagrant ]; then
    source `brew --prefix`/etc/bash_completion.d/vagrant
fi

for zsh

# requires oh-my-zsh
# add vagrant to plugins line in ~/.zshrc, i.e.
plugins=(git osx ruby vagrant)

Seems like the kura project is abandoned but this fork is alive.

Any reason this hasn't been included with Vagrant yet? It seems like @mitchellh was ready to do so with another package back in 2011. Any chance of revisiting this now?

@PHLAK, guys:
it turns out the bash completion script is actually bundled in this repo since 2012:

https://github.com/hashicorp/vagrant/blob/master/contrib/bash/completion.sh

On Ubuntu you can find it at /opt/vagrant/embedded/gems/gems/vagrant-1.9.8/contrib/bash/completion.sh

And that's exactly what the homebrew formula vagrant-completion installs.
