Verify Shell Completions

This repository contains ssh shell completions based on Ansible's knowledge of available hostnames. It's used by the GOV.UK Verify team to ssh their way onto our servers.

Requirements

• jq (brew install jq)
• verify-ansible repository checked out, and you need to have run the hosts script in verify-ansible to generate a hosts cache file

SSH Shell Completions

Shell completion support is implemented for both bash and zsh.

Start by cloning this repo, then activate completions for your shell as follows.

Bash

Add the following to your ~/.bashrc, adjusting any paths as necessary.

export IDA_ANSIBLE_DIR="${HOME}/Projects/verify-ansible"
. ~/Projects/verify-ssh-shell-completions/ssh-complete.sh

ZSH

Add the following to your ~/.zshrc, adjusting paths as necessary.

export IDA_ANSIBLE_DIR="${HOME}/Projects/verify-ansible"
source ~/Projects/verify-ssh-shell-completions/ssh-complete.zsh

Usage

Completions should now get the full list of hosts from the ansible inventory.

To find out more about the dynamic inventory and how to refresh it see the verify-ansible/README.md
