Output shell completion code for the specified shell (Bash, Zsh, Fish, or PowerShell).
The shell code must be evaluated to provide interactive completion of kubectl
commands. This can be done by sourcing it from the .bash_profile
.
Detailed instructions on how to do this are available here:
- for macOS: https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/tools/install-kubectl-macos/#enable-shell-autocompletion;
-
for linux: https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/tools/install-kubectl-linux/#enable-shell-autocompletion;
- for windows: https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/tools/install-kubectl-windows/#enable-shell-autocompletion;
Note for Zsh users: Zsh completions are only supported in versions of Zsh >= 5.2.

werf kubectl completion SHELL
Examples
# Installing bash completion on macOS using homebrew
## If running Bash 3.2 included with macOS
brew install bash-completion
## or, if running Bash 4.1+
brew install bash-completion@2
## If kubectl is installed via homebrew, this should start working immediately
## If you've installed via other means, you may need add the completion to your completion directory
kubectl completion bash > $(brew --prefix)/etc/bash_completion.d/kubectl
# Installing bash completion on Linux
## If bash-completion is not installed on Linux, install the 'bash-completion' package
## via your distribution's package manager.
## Load the kubectl completion code for bash into the current shell
source <(kubectl completion bash)
## Write bash completion code to a file and source it from .bash_profile
kubectl completion bash > ~/.kube/completion.bash.inc
printf "
# kubectl shell completion
source '$HOME/.kube/completion.bash.inc'
" >> $HOME/.bash_profile
source $HOME/.bash_profile
# Load the kubectl completion code for zsh[1] into the current shell
source <(kubectl completion zsh)
# Set the kubectl completion code for zsh[1] to autoload on startup
kubectl completion zsh > "${fpath[1]}/_kubectl"
# Load the kubectl completion code for fish[2] into the current shell
kubectl completion fish | source
# To load completions for each session, execute once:
kubectl completion fish > ~/.config/fish/completions/kubectl.fish
# Load the kubectl completion code for powershell into the current shell
kubectl completion powershell | Out-String | Invoke-Expression
# Set kubectl completion code for powershell to run on startup
## Save completion code to a script and execute in the profile
kubectl completion powershell > $HOME\.kube\completion.ps1
Add-Content $PROFILE "$HOME\.kube\completion.ps1"
## Execute completion code in the profile
Add-Content $PROFILE "if (Get-Command kubectl -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue) {
kubectl completion powershell | Out-String | Invoke-Expression
}"
## Add completion code directly to the $PROFILE script
kubectl completion powershell >> $PROFILE
