Autocompletion and ls alias

[nkt]

I guess autocompletion for installed versions based on default ls output, so if I'm using some alias for it, I'll got completions like this:

❯ nvm use 
-rw-r--r--   1            17:54        23           5B           8            May          default      iojs-v2.0.2  nkt          staff        system       total

I guess using /bin/ls could resolve this problem.

What alias are you using?

While it's a horrible idea to clobber builtins with aliases, nvm does strive to avoid that being the source of problems.

alias ls='ls -FhlG'

[ljharb]

@nkt have you sourced $NVM_DIR/bash_completion yet? nvm doesn't have autocomplete by default.

@ljharb I'm just installed it using brew and completed following steps:

❯ brew info nvm
==> Caveats
Add NVM's working directory to your $HOME path (if it doesn't exist):

  mkdir ~/.nvm

Copy nvm-exec to NVM's working directory

  cp $(brew --prefix nvm)/nvm-exec ~/.nvm/

Add the following to $HOME/.bashrc, $HOME/.zshrc, or your shell's
equivalent configuration file:

  export NVM_DIR=~/.nvm
  source $(brew --prefix nvm)/nvm.sh

Type `nvm help` for further information.

Bash completion has been installed to:
  /usr/local/etc/bash_completion.d

nvm is 100% unsupported when installed by brew - please don't use that to install it. However, that implies that the formula is setting up the completion.

Please install nvm using the curl command in the README.

@ljharb I'm not alone with idea of overwriting commands, like ls:

https://github.com/mathiasbynens/dotfiles/blob/master/.aliases#L35

[ljharb]

yup, people do it, but that doesn't make it wise :-)

We don't use ls internally in nvm anywhere, so i'm not sure that's the issue. we do use find?

[ljharb]

Thanks - I'm able to reproduce this locally. I'll see what I can do.
