The `cheat/autocompletion` directory contains scripts to enable command-line

---------
|

autocompletion for various shells. To activate autocompletion, simply copy the

|

appropriate script to the appropriate path on your system. (The "appropriate

|

path" will vary on a per-platform basis, so this documentation shall not
|
|
||||||
speculate as to where that may be.)
