$ cat ~/.bash_profile
[ -f /usr/local/etc/bash_completion ] && . /usr/local/etc/bash_completion

• to check link of bash-completion

  $ brew unlink bash-completion --dry-run
  Would remove:

completion for alias

• download/install

  # download bash_completion.sh for kubectl
  $ curl -fsSL https://github.com/cykerway/complete-alias/raw/master/complete_alias -o ~/.bash_completion.sh
  # or rhel/centos
  $ sudo curl -fsSL https://github.com/marslo/dotfiles/raw/main/.marslo/.completion/complete_alias -o /etc/profile.d/complete_alias.sh

• setup for specific alias

  $ echo "complete -F _complete_alias <alias>" >> ~/.bash_profile
  

  • example

    # i.e.: for kubec* ( kubectl or kubecolor )
    $ complete -o nosort -o bashdefault -o default -F _complete_alias $(alias | sed -rn 's/^alias ([^=]+)=.+kubec.+$/\1/p' | xargs)
