Install
root # emerge -av bash-completion
If you want to enable bash completion for any package that supports it, you can set the global USE flag bash-completion:
/etc/portage/make.conf - Set bash-completion globallyUSE="$USE bash-completion"
And then emerge -avN @world to enable bash-completion on packages you formerly built without that support.
However, you probably won't need bash completion on every package you install. So for a lighter system and faster completion, prefer enabling it on a per package basis.
Enable bash completion
You need to add the following to your .bashrc to load bash-completion.
~/.bashrc - enable bash completionsource /etc/bash/bashrc.d/bash_completion.sh
Now you can enable completion for various programs with eselect.
user $ eselect bashcomp list user $ eselect bashcomp enable gentoo
To enable bash completion for all packages, you can use the following.
root # eselect bashcomp enable --global {0..476}
Note that for tab completion to work with sftp, openssh must be compiled with libedit support. You can add this to your package.use file:
/etc/portage/package.use - enable tab completion for sftpnet-misc/openssh libedit
To disable bash completion for all packages, you can use the following.
root # eselect bashcomp disable --global {0..476}
