Mix completion plus shortcuts and colors

Bash autocompletion for Elixir mix.

Power features

Shortcuts

You can invoke tasks in a shorter way without pressing TAB:

m      → mix help
m a    → mix archive
m h    → mix hex
m a.b  → mix archive.build
m d.co → mix deps.compile
m p.n  → mix phoenix.new

Colors

When you execute m (or m help), tasks are colored green.

Install via homebrew

brew tap homebrew/completions

brew install mix-completion

Manual install

Global:

$ git clone [email protected]:davidhq/mix-power-completion.git
$ cd mix-power-completion
$ sudo cp mix /etc/bash_completion.d/
$ source /etc/bash_completion.d/mix
(on new terminal tabs, this should be autoloaded)

Local:

$ ~/bash_completion.d
$ cp mix ~/bash_completion.d/

Add to ~/.bashrc:

if [ -f "$HOME/bash_completion.d/mix" ] ; then
    source $HOME/bash_completion.d/mix
fi

Usage

To list all currently avaliable mix tasks:

$ m [TAB]
  archive            archive.uninstall        ....

$ mix [TAB]
  archive            archive.uninstall        ....

To complete command:

$ m t[TAB]
  m test

There will be a slight lag because mix has to check what is available for the current project.
