Currently the abra autocomplete feels quite confusing.

Coming to it with no memory of past usages, I ran abra autocomplete bash and abra autocomplete fish and then just saw the output of the script. It didn't actually do anything.

@ammaratef45 let me know that I have to run abra autocomplete bash --help which outputs the actual commands that need to be run for all three supported shells.

I don't think there's anyway of knowing that. Could we just make the abra autocomplete output the same as what's currently abra autocomplete bash --help and remove the help flag?
