Pachctl Auto-completion

Verify that bash-completion is installed on your machine. For example, if you have installed bash completion by using Homebrew, type:

brew info bash-completion

This command returns information about the directory in which bash-completion and bash completion scripts are installed. For example, /usr/local/etc/bash_completion.d/. You need to specify the path to bash_completion.d as the path to which install pachctl autocompletion. Also, the output of the info command might have a suggestion to include the path to bash-completion into your ~/.bash_profile file.

Install pachctl autocompletion:

pachctl completion bash --install --path <path/to/bash-completion>

For example, if you specify the path to bash-completion as /usr/local/etc/bash_completion.d/pachctl, your system response looks like this:

System response:

Bash completions installed in /usr/local/etc/bash_completion.d/pachctl, you must restart bash to enable completions.

Restart your terminal.

pachctl autocomplete should now be enabled in your system.

Verify that zsh-completions are installed on your machine. For example, if you have installed zsh completion by using Homebrew, type:

brew info zsh-completions

You should see the directory in which zsh-completions are installed and instructions to add the correct path in the ~/.zshrc file. Make sure you add the required path. If you do not have the ~/.zshrc file on your computer, create one. For more information about setting up zsh completions, see zsh-completions.

Install pachctl autocompletion for zsh:

pachctl completion zsh --install --path <path/to/zsh-completions>

Example:

pachctl completion zsh --install --path /usr/local/share/zsh-completions/_pachctl

System response:

Restart your terminal.

pachctl autocomplete should now be enabled in your system.
