gclient_completion.sh

# gclient_completion.sh
#
# This adds completion to bash shells for gclient commands. It is
# meant for developers and not needed for inclusion by any automated
# processes that will, of course, specify the full command, not rely
# on or benefit from tab-completion.
#
# Requires:
#   bash-completion package for _get_comp_words_by_ref.
#   newer versions of sed for the improved regular expression handling.
#
# On Mac, this is accomplished by installing fink (www.finkproject.org)
# then doing sudo apt-get update ; sudo apt-get install sed
#
# Usage:
#   Put something like the following in your .bashrc:
#   . $PATH_TO_DEPOT_TOOLS/gclient_completion.sh
#


# Parses commands from gclient -h.
__gclient_commands () {
  gclient -h 2> /dev/null | sed -n 's/^\s*\x1b\[32m\(.*\)\x1b\[39m.*$/\1/p'
}

# Caches variables in __gclient_all_commands.
# Adds "update" command, which is not listed.
__gclient_compute_all_commands () {
  test -n "$__gclient_all_commands" ||
  __gclient_all_commands="$(__gclient_commands) update"
}

# Since gclient fetch is a passthrough to git, let the completions
# come from git's completion if it's defined.
if [[ -n _git_fetch ]]; then
    _gclient_fetch=_git_fetch
fi

# Completion callback for gclient cmdlines.
