[chef] Re: Re: Re: Knife bash completion - improved

[Jacobo García < >]

Hello,

Thanks for your script, it's great, specially for beginers on the chef CLI.

I tried your script in OS X too and the problems are related to differences between GNU sed and BSD sed. I just quick fixed them installing gsed with macports and changing sed references to gsed.

Also it's possible to have a knife config file per chef repository instead of ~/.chef/knife.rb. This way you can work over several chef servers. I am not sure how to fix that in the script but probably there's some clues on knife code. I found the script crashing here too.

Greetings.
