Tab Completion In Linux

Use tab completion in your linux shell to move faster around your terminal. If you’re changing directory (cd) into a folder but don’t want finish typing it all out you can press tab and if it is a single match, the shell will auto complete it for you. If there are multiple matches to what you typed, it’ll show the different possibilities.

Note, I’m using oh-my-zsh for some of the nicer tab completion options.
