Bash

To load completions in your current shell session:

source <(glab completion -s bash)

To load completions for every new session, execute once:

Linux

glab completion -s bash > /etc/bash_completion.d/glab

macOS

glab completion -s bash > /usr/local/etc/bash_completion.d/glab

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 in your current shell session:

source <(glab completion -s zsh); compdef _glab glab

To load completions for every new session, execute once:

Linux

glab completion -s zsh > "${fpath[1]}/_glab"

macOS

For older versions of macOS, this may be required:

glab completion -s zsh > /usr/local/share/zsh/site-functions/_glab

The Homebrew version of glab should automatically install completions.

fish

To load completions in your current shell session:

glab completion -s fish | source

To load completions for every new session, execute once:

glab completion -s fish > ~/.config/fish/completions/glab.fish

PowerShell

To load completions in your current shell session:

glab completion -s powershell | Out-String | Invoke-Expression

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

When installing glab through a package manager, however, it's possible that no additional shell configuration is necessary to gain completion support. For Homebrew, see ⟨https://docs.brew.sh/Shell-Completion⟩
