How to pass the required directory as an argument to the script?

Question

bash

The question is very simple, but you need to formulate it correctly in order to find it in googl ;(
There is a certain script in which I pass the name of the site, there is a directory in which there are these names, I want to add the site name with a tab,
for example
backup site1.ru - the latter can be added as if I am in folder with sites /var/www (for example)

You can create custom autocomplete for your own command so that arguments are automatically completed.
To do this, you need to tinker with bash completion.
The entire autocomplete is created on bash scripts, and is connected in the global profile.
The scripts themselves are usually located somewhere here:
/etc/bash_completion
What to read - google about bash completion:

PS Although I saw you have zsh, maybe it has a simpler option.
PPS There is an even easier option - to make aliases or scripts with the full name and that's it =)
