completions

Emit shell-completion scripts so snippbot <TAB> auto-completes commands, subcommands, and options.

Usage

snippbot completions <shell>                 # Print the script to stdout
snippbot completions <shell> --install-help  # Print install instructions

Supported shells: bash, zsh, fish.

---

Install — bash

Activate in your current shell (useful for testing):

eval "$(snippbot completions bash)"

Persist across sessions — add to ~/.bashrc:

eval "$(snippbot completions bash)"

Or save to a completions directory:

snippbot completions bash > ~/.local/share/bash-completion/completions/snippbot

Caution

Bash completion requires bash 4.4 or later. macOS ships with bash 3.2; install a newer bash via Homebrew (brew install bash) if you want completions on that shell.

---

Install — zsh

Activate in your current shell:

eval "$(snippbot completions zsh)"

Persist — add to ~/.zshrc before compinit:

eval "$(snippbot completions zsh)"

Or save to a fpath directory:

snippbot completions zsh > ~/.zfunc/_snippbot
# Make sure ~/.zfunc is on your fpath:
fpath=(~/.zfunc $fpath)
autoload -U compinit && compinit

---

Install — fish

Save to fish’s completions directory (loaded automatically):

snippbot completions fish > ~/.config/fish/completions/snippbot.fish

---

What gets completed

Once activated, the following are tab-completable:

• Every top-level command: snippbot <TAB> → start, stop, status, config, project, …
• Every subcommand: snippbot config <TAB> → get, set, delete, list, path, init
• Every option: snippbot start --<TAB> → —dev, —port, —host
• Choice values: snippbot setup --mode <TAB> → self-hosted, cloud
