Brew bash autocompletion I just installed bash 4.4.19 through brew on my mac and configured Terminal.app to use it as the default shell. All of that works.

Now when I type ln -s $HOME/+TAB it gets autocompleted to ln -s \$HOME/. The default bash that comes with macOS 10.13 would instead auto-complete that to ln -s /Users/lars/.

How can I get the old behavior back so that $HOME auto-completes to my home directory?
I solved this by adding the following to my .bash_profile

shopt -s direxpand
complete -r cd
