Generate the autocompletion script for bash

## NAME

dasel-completion-bash - Generate the autocompletion script for bash

## SYNOPSIS

**dasel completion bash**

## DESCRIPTION

Generate the autocompletion script for the bash shell.

This script depends on the 'bash-completion' package. If it is not installed already, you can install it via your OS's package manager.

To load completions in your current shell session:

```
source <(dasel completion bash)
```

To load completions for every new session, execute once:

### Linux:

```
dasel completion bash > /etc/bash_completion.d/dasel
```

### macOS:

```
dasel completion bash > $(brew --prefix)/etc/bash_completion.d/dasel
```

You will need to start a new shell for this setup to take effect.
