usage: ffmpeg-tools [-h] [-v] {chapters-split,concat,stack} ...

Shell-Completion

To get temporary shell completion (for your running shell-instance)

eval "$(ffmpeg-tools --shell-completion)"

For permanent shell completion you can add the line above to ~/.bashrc. This would increase your shell startup time by a good margin so it's not recommended. The recommended way would be to pipe the completion-script to a file and sourcing that.

mkdir -p "~/.bash_completion.d/"
ffmpeg-tools --shell-completion > "~/.bash_completion.d/ffmpeg-tools.completion.sh"
echo "source \"~/.bash_completion.d/ffmpeg-tools.completion.sh\"" >> ~/.bashrc

The middle-command has to be redone when updating this project.
