Shell tab completion

Shell tab completion makes it faster to work with Batect. Rather than having to remember CLI options or task names, you can type the start of the name, press Tab, and the name will be filled in for you automatically.

For example, typing ./batect --heTab completes to ./batect --help and typing ./batect buiTab completes to ./batect build.

Batect supports shell tab completion in Bash, Fish and Zsh.
