| 7 | +You can generate shell completion scripts using the `chainsaw completion` command: |
| 8 | + |
| 9 | +```bash |
| 10 | +# For Bash |
| 11 | +chainsaw completion bash |
| 12 | + |
| 13 | +# For Zsh |
| 14 | +chainsaw completion zsh |
| 15 | + |
| 16 | +# For Fish |
| 17 | +chainsaw completion fish |
| 18 | + |
| 19 | +# For PowerShell |
| 20 | +chainsaw completion powershell |
| 21 | +``` |
| 22 | + |
| 23 | +## Setting Up Completion |
| 24 | + |
| 25 | +### Bash |
| 26 | + |
| 27 | +To enable completion in your current Bash session: |
| 28 | + |
| 29 | +```bash |
| 30 | +source <(chainsaw completion bash) |
| 31 | +``` |
| 32 | + |
| 33 | +To enable completion for all sessions, add the above line to your `~/.bashrc` file: |
| 34 | + |
| 35 | +```bash |
| 36 | +echo 'source <(chainsaw completion bash)' >> ~/.bashrc |
| 37 | +``` |
| 38 | + |
| 39 | +Alternatively, you can save the completion script to the bash-completion directory: |
| 40 | + |
| 41 | +```bash |
| 42 | +# On Linux |
| 43 | +chainsaw completion bash > /etc/bash_completion.d/chainsaw |
| 44 | + |
| 45 | +# On macOS with Homebrew |
| 46 | +chainsaw completion bash > $(brew --prefix)/etc/bash_completion.d/chainsaw |
| 47 | +``` |
| 48 | + |
| 49 | +### Zsh |
| 50 | + |
| 51 | +To enable completion in your current Zsh session: |
| 52 | + |
| 53 | +```bash |
| 54 | +source <(chainsaw completion zsh) |
| 55 | +``` |
| 56 | + |
| 57 | +To enable completion for all sessions, add the above line to your `~/.zshrc` file: |
| 58 | + |
| 59 | +```bash |
| 60 | +echo 'source <(chainsaw completion zsh)' >> ~/.zshrc |
| 61 | +``` |
| 62 | + |
| 63 | +Alternatively, you can save the completion script to a directory in your `$fpath`: |
| 64 | + |
| 65 | +```bash |
| 66 | +# Create a directory for completions if it doesn't exist |
| 67 | +mkdir -p ~/.zsh/completion |
| 68 | +# Generate and save the completion script |
| 69 | +chainsaw completion zsh > ~/.zsh/completion/_chainsaw |
| 70 | + |
| 71 | +# Make sure the directory is in your fpath by adding to ~/.zshrc: |
| 72 | +echo 'fpath=(~/.zsh/completion $fpath)' >> ~/.zshrc |
| 73 | +echo 'autoload -U compinit; compinit' >> ~/.zshrc |
| 74 | +``` |
| 75 | + |
| 76 | +### Fish |
| 77 | + |
| 78 | +To enable completion in Fish: |
| 79 | + |
| 80 | +```bash |
| 81 | +chainsaw completion fish > ~/.config/fish/completions/chainsaw.fish |
| 82 | +``` |
| 83 | + |
| 84 | +### PowerShell |
| 85 | + |
| 86 | +To enable completion in PowerShell: |
| 87 | + |
| 88 | +```powershell |
| 89 | +chainsaw completion powershell | Out-String | Invoke-Expression |
| 90 | +``` |
| 91 | + |
| 92 | +To make it persistent, add the above line to your PowerShell profile: |
| 93 | + |
| 94 | +```powershell |
| 95 | +# Find the profile path |
| 96 | +echo $PROFILE |
| 97 | +
|
| 98 | +# Add the completion command to your profile |
| 99 | +chainsaw completion powershell | Out-String | Out-File -Append $PROFILE |
| 100 | +``` |
| 101 | + |
| 102 | +## Testing Completion |
| 103 | + |
| 104 | +After setting up completion, you can test it by typing `chainsaw` followed by a space and pressing <Tab>. This should show available subcommands. You can also try typing partial commands like `chainsaw te` and then pressing <Tab>, which should complete to `chainsaw test`. |
