Bash Completion on OSX without Homebrew

One Liner:

cd /tmp && curl -LOs https://gist.github.com/jnovack/e66f40e7a31e04f909c2f503c6df7367/raw/Makefile && make

I hate HomeBrew for the overhead just to install a simple package (which should be installed on OSX by default!).

The URL for bash_completion-1.3.tar.bz2 is incorrect. The server can't be found.

Here´s a working url: https://src.fedoraproject.org/repo/pkgs/bash-completion/bash-completion-1.3.tar.bz2/a1262659b4bbf44dc9e59d034de505ec/bash-completion-1.3.tar.bz2

Taken from: https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/blob/master/Formula/bash-completion.rb

Thanks for the correction, fix'd.

I am curious why you chose 1.3 for the version since 2.8 is the latest version of bash-completion. Is there an issue with it above 1.3 on a Mac?

From https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/blob/master/Formula/bash-completion.rb:

NOTE: version 2 is out, but it requires Bash 4, and macOS ships with 3.2.57.
