How to enable Bash completion for goat v1 shortcuts?

This is about goat v1 and doesn't apply to goat v2.

Overview

This is an experimental feature - it will enable shortcut completion when you use goat in Bash. It does not work for cd.

Tested on macOS 10.12.1 running GNU bash, version 4.4.5(1)-release (x86_64-apple-darwin16.3.0).

Installation

1. Install bash-completion.

2. Add this code to ~/.bash_completion:

   _goat()
   {
       local cur prev opts
       local kGOAT_SHORTCUTS="$HOME/.goat/shortcuts.config"
       COMPREPLY=()
       cur="${COMP_WORDS[COMP_CWORD]}"
       prev="${COMP_WORDS[COMP_CWORD-1]}"
       opts="$(cut -f1 "$kGOAT_SHORTCUTS" | tr "\n" ' ')"
       if [[ ${cur} == * ]] ; then
           COMPREPLY=( $(compgen -W "${opts}" -- ${cur}) )
           return 0
       fi
   }
   complete -F _goat goat

3. You might need to source ~/.bashrc.

4. Enjoy your completion for goat (goat <TAB> should result in a list of your shortcuts).
