"context": "AWS CLI Command Completion provides significant convenience for experienced users by reducing the amount of typing and mitigating common typing errors. It supports completion for commands, subcommands, and options, making the CLI usage faster and more efficient. To activate command completion, you need to manually enable it depending on your operating system. For instance, on a Unix-like system such as Linux or macOS, you can enable it by running a shell command specific to the shell you use, like bash or zsh. The shell completion scripts are typically included with the AWS CLI package, and they can be sourced in your shell's profile script, such as .bashrc for bash or .zshrc for zsh. This setup ensures that each time you open a new terminal session, the completion feature is automatically active. When properly configured, you can type the beginning of a command and press the tab key to see a list of possible completions. This not only speeds up the command entry but also helps discover new commands and options you might not be aware of. In addition, command completion is particularly useful for navigating complex commands with multiple parameters and options, providing a smoother and more intuitive command-line experience. By reducing the cognitive load associated with remembering command syntax and options, advanced users can focus more on optimizing and automating their AWS workflows. Remember to keep your AWS CLI tool updated to the latest version to benefit from the most recent improvements and completion features."
