    Setup ble.sh for PowerShell-like history completion in bash

These settings will give you PowerShell-like history completion in bash using
ble.sh.
History completions will be displayed in grey, press UP-ARROW or F8 to accept
the completion and ENTER.
To cancel a completion, press CTRL-K or DOWN-ARROW.
When a completion is not active, use UP-ARROW and DOWN-ARROW to search history
with the current text as a prefix and press ENTER to accept a history match and
execute it.
Clone the ble.sh repository and build it

mkdir -p ~/source/repos
cd ~/source/repos
git clone https://github.com/akinomyoga/ble.sh.git --recurse-submodules
cd ble.sh
make
Install in your .bashrc
