How can I get tab completion to work for selecting CVS modules under Linux

  • 0

How can I get tab completion to work for selecting CVS modules under Linux (preferably using bash) ?

For example, ‘cvs co ‘ + tab would list the modules I can checkout. I’ve heard it’s easy to do using zsh, but still I didn’t manage to get it working either.

Also, how can I list all available modules (or repositories?) available in the CVSROOT?

    Actually, as you guys said, Ubuntu has built in support for tab completion of CVS modules.

    The one thing I was missing, I have to manually add a mapping of the module name and its alias in the CVSROOT/modules file for the supported completion to work.
