Shell Autocompletion

isctl supports autocompletion for Bash, Zsh, Fish, and PowerShell. This feature can save you a lot of typing and help you explore available commands and flags.

You can generate the autocompletion script for your shell using the isctl completion <SHELL> command.

Bash

This script depends on the bash-completion package. If it is not installed already, you can install it via your OS's package manager.

To load completions in your current shell session:

source <(isctl completion bash)

To load completions for every new session, execute once:

Linux:

isctl completion bash > /etc/bash_completion.d/isctl

macOS:

isctl completion bash > /usr/local/etc/bash_completion.d/isctl

You will need to start a new shell for this setup to take effect.

Zsh

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

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

To load completions for every new session, execute once:

Linux:

isctl completion zsh > "${fpath[1]}/_isctl"

macOS:

isctl completion zsh > /usr/local/share/zsh/site-functions/_isctl

You will need to start a new shell for this setup to take effect.

Fish

To load completions in your current shell session:

isctl completion fish | source

To load completions for every new session, execute once:

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

You will need to start a new shell for this setup to take effect.

PowerShell

To load completions in your current shell session:

isctl completion powershell | Out-String | Invoke-Expression

To load completions for every new session, add the output of the above command to your PowerShell profile.
