I'm new in macOS and I'm using macOS Sierra, In my Ubuntu and other Linux-based system, terminal has an auto-complete that helps to complete commands and their options. For example for wget and other commands, in additional to command completion, after pressing Tab 2 times, it lists all command options (if any), or in sudo w it list all commands start with **w** Ubuntu terminal auto-compelete But on my Mac, it just complete first commands and don't help for options or second part of command like **whoami** in sudo whoami, I mean it don't show a list of all command that start with who after pressing Tab 2 times in sudo who [!Referenced image]Referenced image I found some Scripts for git options at https://github.com/git/git/tree/master/contrib/completion/ , but I want something that do this for all commands and applications. Is there any solution for that?
