Description

Yargs supports specifying completions for commands and arguments. This would be really useful to autocomplete the stacks when doing e.g. a cdktf deploy [stack].

I failed getting any autocompletion output out of yargs at cli-autocompletion I am not super familiar with this kind of shell interaction, so I'm probably not the ideal person for this task

Support for shell completions has been introduced via #943.
Currently yargs does not support auto completing choices (e.g. typescript, go, ... for --language). I opened a PR for that and as soon as that gets merged and released we can update to that yargs version to improve our completion support.
