Command line tab-completion

info

Completion for pnpm v9 is incompatible with completion for older pnpm versions. If you already install pnpm completion for version older than v9, you must uninstall it first so that completion for v9 may work properly. You may do so by removing 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

Fig (on macOS only)

To install, run:

brew install fig
