## NAME
podman\-completion - Generate shell completion scripts
## SYNOPSIS
**podman completion** [*options*] *bash* | *zsh* | *fish* | *powershell*
## DESCRIPTION
**podman completion** generates shell completion scripts for a variety of shells. Supported shells are *bash*, *zsh*, *fish* and *powershell*.
These script are used by the shell to provide suggestions and complete commands when the command is typed and `[TAB]` is pressed.
Usually these scripts are automatically installed via the package manager.
## OPTIONS
#### **--file**, **-f**=*file*
Write the generated output to a file.
#### **--no-desc**
Do not provide description in the completions.\
The default is **false**.
## Installation
### BASH
`bash-completion` has to be installed on the system.
To load the completion script into the current session run:\
**source <(podman completion bash)**.
To make it available for all bash sessions run:\
**podman completion -f /etc/bash_completion.d/podman bash**.
### ZSH
Shell completion needs to be already enabled in the environment. The following can be executed:\
**echo "autoload -U compinit; compinit" >> ~/.zshrc**
To make it available for all zsh sessions run:\
**podman completion -f "${fpath[1]}/_podman zsh"**
Once the shell is reloaded the auto-completion should be working.
### FISH
To load the completion script into the current session run:
**podman completion fish | source**
To make it available for all fish sessions run:
**podman completion -f ~/.config/fish/completions/podman.fish fish**
### POWERSHELL
To load the completion script into the current session run:
**podman.exe completion powershell | Out-String | Invoke-Expression**
To make it available in all powershell sessions that a user has, write the
completion output to a file and source that to the user's powershell profile.
More information about profiles is available with **Get-Help about_Profiles**.
