+If your preferred shell is Bash, a completion script is available.
+In order to install it, use the following commands:
+
+[source,bash]
+----
+$ mkdir ~/.bash_completion.d/
+$ cd ~/.bash_completion.d/
+$ wget -O erlang_mk https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ninenines/erlang.mk/master/etc/bash_completion
+----
+
+Then edit the file `~/.bash_completion` and add:
+
+[source,bash]
+----
+for bcfile in ~/.bash_completion.d/* ; do
+ . $bcfile
+done
+----
+
+Note that Make's legacy Bash completion will be overwritten.

+Erlang.mk's Bash completion only in your Erlang project directory instead.
