Doas and Sudo - Bash-Completions

Just thought would post this here as i find it peculiar behavior.

I dont have sudo installed and use doas lately. I found that if I create an alias in .bashrc such as alias sudo="doas" i can get the full functionality of sudo bash completion as long as i keep using the sudo command in the terminal. Its good i like it but it begs the question can doas be implemented in bash-completion as well?

Workaround is this semi solution.

as root

cp /usr/share/bash-completion/completions/sudo /usr/share/bash-completion/completions/doas

then replace all instance of sudo in the doas file.

Source: https://github.com/scop/bash-completion/issues/505

Edited: Fixed alias command.

Great!

I'd call that a "Freedom Hack", because you have restored your freedom to use doas.

Thank you for sharing.

Was not sure where to put this. At first it was a question then i answered my own question. Maybe the mods could transfer this thread to "Freedom Hacks"?  http://dev1galaxy.org/viewforum.php?id=25
And you are welcome.

I'm using https://github.com/nutta-git/bash-compl … tions/doas and so far it behaves as expected:

~$ doas aptitude --<tab><tab>
--assume-yes          --no-gui              --show-versions       --verbose
--display-format      --prompt              --simulate            --width
--download-only       --quiet               --sort                --without-recommends
--help                --show-deps           --target-release      --with-recommends
~$ doas aptitude --█
