Configuring Autocompletion for `mesheryctl` - Meshery

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

<pre class="codeblock-pre"><div class="codeblock"> <div class="clipboardjs">source /dev/stdin <<< "$(mesheryctl completion bash)"</div></div> </pre>

bash >= 4.0

<pre class="codeblock-pre"><div class="codeblock"> <div class="clipboardjs">source <(mesheryctl completion bash)</div></div> </pre>

bash <= 3.2 on MacOS

<pre class="codeblock-pre"><div class="codeblock"> <div class="clipboardjs">brew install bash-completion # ensure you have bash-completion 1.3+ mesheryctl completion bash > $(brew --prefix)/etc/bash_completion.d/mesheryctl</div></div> </pre>

bash >= 4.0 on MacOS

<pre class="codeblock-pre"><div class="codeblock"> <div class="clipboardjs">brew install bash-completion@2 mesheryctl completion bash > $(brew --prefix)/etc/bash_completion.d/mesheryctl</div></div> </pre>

Autocompletion for zsh

<pre class="codeblock-pre"><div class="codeblock"> <div class="clipboardjs">source <(mesheryctl completion zsh)</div></div> </pre>

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

<pre class="codeblock-pre"><div class="codeblock"> <div class="clipboardjs">~/.zshrc > echo "autoload -U compinit; compinit"</div></div> </pre>

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

zsh on MacOS and Oh My zsh

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

Autocompletion for fish

<pre class="codeblock-pre"><div class="codeblock"> <div class="clipboardjs">mesheryctl completion fish | source</div></div> </pre>
