completion install

Install tab completion for git shadow in your shell. Once installed, pressing <Tab> after git shadow will suggest available commands and subcommands.

Usage

git shadow completion install

Supported shells

ShellMethod
bashAppends source line to ~/.bashrc
zshAppends source line to ~/.zshrc
fishSymlinks completion file to ~/.config/fish/completions/

The shell is detected automatically from $SHELL.

After installing

Reload your shell to activate completion:

source ~/.bashrc   # or source ~/.zshrc

For fish, completion is active immediately in new sessions.

Idempotent

Running completion install multiple times is safe — it detects if completion is already installed and exits without making changes.

Manual install

If your shell is not detected automatically, the command prints the paths to the completion scripts so you can source them manually:

Bash: source ~/.local/share/git-shadow/completions/git-shadow.bash
Zsh:  source ~/.local/share/git-shadow/completions/git-shadow.zsh
Fish: ln -sf ~/.local/share/git-shadow/completions/git-shadow.fish ~/.config/fish/completions/git-shadow.fish

Note

If you installed git shadow via the curl installer, completion is set up automatically during installation. You only need to run this command if you installed manually.
