Poetry Configuration¶

Enabling bash-completion (poetry)¶

The official instructions include the following:

# Bash

poetry completions bash > /etc/bash_completion.d/poetry.bash-completion

This assumes commands can be performed as root, assumptions are bad!

Instead, make [mkdir-options] a ‘local’ etc/bash_completion.d directory and alter the above code to use this:

~/ $ mkdir -p $CONF_DIR/bash_completion.d
~/ $ poetry completions bash > $CONF_DIR/bash_completion.d/poetry.bash-completion

To enable this, it must be sourced:

~/ $ source $CONF_DIR/bash_completion.d/poetry.bash-completion

To automatcially enable all completions, the following may be used:

~/ $ printf "\nsource %s\n" \
   "$CONF_DIR/bash_completion.d/*.bash-completion" \
   >> $HOME/.bashrc
~/ $ tail -n 2 $HOME/.bashrc
source [...]

command line arguments

-p, --parents: no error if existing, make parent directories as needed, with their file modes unaffected by any -m option.
