Command line tab-completion

info

Completion for pnpm v9+ is incompatible with completion for older pnpm versions. If you have already installed pnpm completion for a version older than v9, you must uninstall it first to ensure that completion for v9+ works properly. You can do this by removing the section of code that contains __tabtab in your dot files.

Unlike other popular package managers, which usually require plugins, pnpm supports command line tab-completion for Bash, Zsh, Fish, and similar shells.

To setup autocompletion for Bash, run:

pnpm completion bash > ~/completion-for-pnpm.bash
echo 'source ~/completion-for-pnpm.bash' >> ~/.bashrc

To setup autocompletion for Fish, run:

pnpm completion fish > ~/.config/fish/completions/pnpm.fish
