glab completion
Overview
This command outputs code meant to be saved to a file, or immediately
evaluated by an interactive shell. To load completions:
### Bash
To load completions in your current shell session:
```shell
source <(glab completion -s bash)
To load completions for every new session, run this command one time:
Linux
glab completion -s bash > /etc/bash_completion.d/glab
macOS
glab completion -s bash > /usr/local/etc/bash_completion.d/glab
Zsh
If shell completion is not already enabled in your environment you must
enable it. Run this command one time:
echo "autoload -U compinit; compinit" >> ~/.zshrc
To load completions in your current shell session:
source <(glab completion -s zsh); compdef _glab glab
To load completions for every new session, run this command one time:
Linux
glab completion -s zsh > "${fpath[1]}/_glab"
macOS
For older versions of macOS, you might need this command:
glab completion -s zsh > /usr/local/share/zsh/site-functions/_glab
The Homebrew version of glab should install completions automatically.
fish
To load completions in your current shell session:
glab completion -s fish | source
To load completions for every new session, run this command one time:
glab completion -s fish > ~/.config/fish/completions/glab.fish
PowerShell
To load completions in your current shell session:
glab completion -s powershell | Out-String | Invoke-Expression
To load completions for every new session, add the output of the above command
to your PowerShell profile.
When installing glab through a package manager, however, you might not need
more shell configuration to support completions.
For Homebrew, see brew shell completion
