About:
PackerCompletion provides intelligent command-line tab completion for HashiCorp Packer in Bash. It dynamically suggests available commands, flags, and options, reducing syntax errors and improving workflow efficiency. This tool is essential for developers managing complex infrastructure-as-code builds.
Key Features:
  • Dynamic flag and argument completion
  • Supports core Packer commands (build, validate, inspect)
  • Easy installation via Homebrew
  • Lightweight and fast execution
Use Cases:
  • Accelerating Packer command entry during infrastructure development
  • Reducing lookup time for valid Packer CLI flags and subcommands
Alternatives:
  • Oh My Zsh Packer Plugin – Provides similar functionality but requires the Zsh shell and Oh My Zsh framework, whereas packer-completion is Bash-focused.
