AFAIK this requires bash/zsh completion support. E.g., for core Git, on my Fedora box it is defined in /usr/share/bash-completion/completions/git and part of the package: rpm -qf /usr/share/bash-completion/completions/git git-core-2.34.1-1.fc35.x86_64 Likewise, there is /usr/share/bash-completion/completions/ogr2ogr /usr/share/bash-completion/completions/ogrinfo /usr/share/bash-completion/completions/ogrlineref /usr/share/bash-completion/completions/ogrmerge.py /usr/share/bash-completion/completions/ogrtindex ... Here it works: ogrinfo --<tab> --config --format --help-general --locale --pause --debug --formats --license --optfile --version Maybe you package installation is incomplete?
