bash-completion VS nvm

Look into the bash-completion project. I'm not sure about "brief descriptions", though: It's possible with bash's programmable completion functionality, but I don't think bash-completion even tries to do that.

What exactly do you mean. bash by itself only has very limited autocompletion. With tools like this and some manual work you can make it better.

Even though there is a library of completion scripts like scop/bash-completion, it only includes common commands. For some commands that are not commonly used, we have to write completion scripts by hand.

BTW, it's not needed to assign $cur for the word containing the current cursor position, or prev=${COMP_WORDS[COMP_CWORD-1]}; it's already in bash-completion lib, and can be reused with _comp_initialize (renamed from _init_completion):

bash-completion - is a collection of command line command completions for the Bash shell, collection of helper functions to assist in creating new completions, and set of facilities for loading completions automatically on demand, as well as installing them.

Tab completion doesn't come from the "cryptsetup" program itself, it comes from a third-party project (https://github.com/scop/bash-completion)

Neither the terminal emulator (konsole in your case) nor Linux are the relevant piece of software. What matters is the shell and whether there are completion scripts for those commands. On my system (Debian with bash) completion works for both sudo and flatpak. The completions for sudo are provided by https://github.com/scop/bash-completion, the ones for flatpak are part of the flatpak package.

Also take a look into https://github.com/scop/bash-completion which might be available as a package on your distro, named most likely bash-completion.

Node.js + Nvm - runtime for javascript without a browser

Install Node.js if it hasn't been installed. There are several ways to install Node.js. You may download the installer from the official website, or install it with tools like NVM. After installation, run this command to verify its installation.

Our server also needs Node.js to run our app. We could install the binary directly, but I prefer to use a tool called NVM, which allows us to easily manage Node versions. We can install it with this command:

By setting up your environment in isolation, you can prevent yourself from a lot of issues when experimenting with code. It makes your code behave more predictable due to the defined state of the runtime environment you are working with. This article should provide you with enough information to get started, but obviously, there is a lot more power embedded in NVM, Virtual Environment and RBEnv. So make sure to check their documentation.

I highly recommend setting up nodejs with a version manager, nvm was and still is a popular option, however, I now recommend and have been using fnm, a simpler and faster alternative to manage my nodejs versions.

The purpose of a version manager is to help you navigate or install any tools for development easily. Version Manager can be one tool for each dependency (e.g. NVM, g) or One tool for all dependencies (e.g. asdf, mise).

I usually develop on Windows so I installed NVM for Windows from here, but if you’re on other OS I’m sure you can find a version that supports it, probably this is the answer.

This was a very quick introduction to how I setup NodeJS on my environment using nvm. If you have any questions please refer to the official documentation or contact me via my Social Links.
