🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Okay so literally what this does: it generates shell auto completion files for every major shell. All of them. Not one. All. 💅

  • {bash,fish,zsh,json,yaml} — you have to tell her which shell type the completion script is for. Pick your fighter: bash, fish, zsh, json or yaml. No guessing, she's not psychic.
  • definition_file — the file holding your command line definitions. This is your homework, bestie, bring it. 📝

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

So many options, so little time. Every single one, right here, no skips:

  • --version — shows the program version. The classic. The icon. 🌟
  • --manual [TOPIC] — shows the manual for TOPIC. Yeah, a program with its own manual command, she's main character energy fr. 👑
  • --parser-variable PARSER_VARIABLE — sets the variable name of the ArgumentParser object (this one's for --input-type=python).
  • --input-type {yaml,json,python,help,auto} — tells her what type your input file is. Choose wisely.
  • --abbreviate-commands BOOL — sets whether commands can be abbreviated.
  • --abbreviate-options BOOL — sets whether options can be abbreviated.
  • --repeatable-options BOOL — sets whether options get suggested multiple times during completion.
  • --inherit-options BOOL — sets whether parent options are visible to subcommands. Family reunion vibes. 🫶
  • --option-stacking BOOL — sets whether short option stacking is allowed.
  • --long-option-argument-separator {space,equals,both} — sets which separators are used for delimiting a long option from its argument. space, equals, or both — pick your separator era.
  • --disable FEATURES — disables features. The list is hidden,final,groups,repeatable,when. Just say no 💀
  • --vim-modeline BOOL — sets whether a vim modeline comment gets appended to the generated code.
  • --bash-completions-version VERSION — generates code for a specific bash-completions version. Version-picky, valid, respect it.
  • --zsh-compdef BOOL — sets whether #compdef is used in zsh scripts.
  • --fish-fast BOOL — uses faster commandline parsing, at the cost of correctness. Speed demon but she said what she said, that's the tradeoff, no cap.
  • --fish-inline-conditions BOOL — don't store conditions in a variable. Inline them. Chaotic but efficient.
  • --include-file FILE — includes a file in the output.
  • --comment COMMENT — adds a comment to the output.
  • --debug — enables debug mode. She's telling you everything now. 🙈
  • --keep-comments — keeps comments in the generated output.
  • --max-line-length MAX_LINE_LENGTH — sets the maximum line length of the generated output.
  • --function-prefix PREFIX — sets the prefix used for generated functions.
  • -o FILE, --output FILE — writes output to the destination FILE [default: stdout]. The default is literally just stdout, so if you don't say anything she's shouting into the terminal.
  • -i, --install-system-wide — writes output to the system-wide completions dir of the shell. Big moves. 🔥
  • -u, --uninstall-system-wide — uninstalls the system-wide completion file for the program. It's giving closure. 🦋
