Configuring Autocompletion for `mesheryctl`

If you would like to have mesheryctl commands automatically completed for use as you use mesheryctl, then use the following instructions to configure automatic completion within your environment.

Autocompletion for Bash

bash <= 3.2


 source /dev/stdin <<< "$(mesheryctl completion bash)"

bash >= 4.0


 source <(mesheryctl completion bash)

bash <= 3.2 on MacOS


 brew install bash-completion # ensure you have bash-completion 1.3+
mesheryctl completion bash > $(brew --prefix)/etc/bash_completion.d/mesheryctl

bash >= 4.0 on MacOS


 brew install bash-completion@2
mesheryctl completion bash > $(brew --prefix)/etc/bash_completion.d/mesheryctl

Autocompletion for zsh


 source <(mesheryctl completion zsh)

If shell completion is not already enabled in your environment you will need to enable it. You can execute the following once:


 ~/.zshrc > echo "autoload -U compinit; compinit"

Note : You might need to restart your shell for this setup to take effect.

zsh on MacOS and Oh My zsh


 COMPLETION_DIR=$(echo $fpath | grep -o '[^ ]*completions' | grep -v cache) && mkdir -p $COMPLETION_DIR && mesheryctl completion zsh > "${COMPLETION_DIR}/_mesheryctl"

Autocompletion for fish


 mesheryctl completion fish | source

To load fish shell completions for each session, execute once:


 mesheryctl completion fish > ~/.config/fish/completions/mesheryctl.fish
