Configures auto-completion for Tanzu CLI commands.

Usage

System command: completion | Primarily used for: Tanzu CLI

Syntax:

tanzu completion SHELL

Examples

To enable auto-completion for Bash:

Note: Install the bash-completion OS package before following the steps below.

• Load only for the current session:

  source <(tanzu completion bash)
  

• Load for all new sessions:

  tanzu completion bash >  $HOME/.config/tanzu/completion.bash.inc
  printf "\n# Tanzu shell completion\nsource '$HOME/.config/tanzu/completion.bash.inc'\n" >> $HOME/.bashrc
  

  If you invoke the tanzu command using a different name or an alias such as, for example, tz, you must also include the following in your $HOME/.bashrc:

  complete -o default -F __start_tanzu tz
  

To enable auto-completion for Zsh:

• Load only for the current session:

  autoload -U compinit; compinit
  source <(tanzu completion zsh)
  

• Load for all new sessions:

  echo "autoload -U compinit; compinit" >> $HOME/.zshrc
  tanzu completion zsh > "${fpath[1]}/_tanzu"
  

  Aliases are handled automatically, but if you have renamed the tanzu binary to, for example, tz, you must also include the following in your $HOME/.zshrc:

  compdef _tanzu tz
  

To enable auto-completion for Fish:

• Load only for current session:

  tanzu completion fish | source
  

• Load for all new sessions:

  tanzu completion fish > $HOME/.config/fish/completions/tanzu.fish
  

  Aliases are handled automatically, but if you have renamed the tanzu binary to, for example, tz, you must also include the following in your $HOME/.config/fish/config.fish:

  complete --command tz --wraps tanzu
  

To enable auto-completion for PowerShell:

• Load only for current session:

  tanzu completion powershell | Out-String | Invoke-Expression
  

• Load for all new sessions:

  printf "\n# Tanzu shell completion\ntanzu completion powershell | Out-String | Invoke-Expression" >> $PROFILE
  

  If you invoke the tanzu command using a different name or an alias such as, for example, tz, you must also include the following in your PowerShell $PROFILE:

  Register-ArgumentCompleter -CommandName 'tz' -ScriptBlock ${__tanzuCompleterBlock}

ActiveHelp

The Tanzu CLI prints ActiveHelp messages for auto-completions when you press TAB. This feature is currently supported only for bash and zsh.

To deactivate all ActiveHelp messages, you can set the TANZU_ACTIVE_HELP environment variable to 0.
