Does ripgrep have support for shell auto-completion?
</h3>
Yes! Shell completions can be found in the
[same directory as the man page](#manpage)
after building ripgrep. Zsh completions are maintained separately and committed
to the repository in `complete/_rg`.
Yes! If you installed ripgrep through a package manager on a Unix system, then
the shell completion files included in the release archive should have been
installed for you automatically. If not, you can generate completes using
ripgrep's command line interface.
Shell completions are also included in all
[ripgrep binary releases](https://github.com/BurntSushi/ripgrep/releases).
For **bash**:
For **bash**, move `rg.bash` to
`$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/bash_completion` or `/etc/bash_completion.d/`.
```
$ dir="$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/bash_completion"
$ mkdir -p "$dir"
$ rg --generate complete-bash > "$dir/rg.bash"
```
For **fish**, move `rg.fish` to `$HOME/.config/fish/completions/`.
For **fish**:
For **zsh**, move `_rg` to one of your `$fpath` directories.
```
$ dir="$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/fish/completions"
$ mkdir -p "$dir"
$ rg --generate complete-fish > "$dir/rg.fish"
```
For **PowerShell**, add `. _rg.ps1` to your PowerShell
For **zsh**:
```
$ dir="$HOME/.zsh-complete"
$ mkdir -p "$dir"
$ rg --generate complete-zsh > "$dir/_rg"
```
For **PowerShell**, create the completions:
```
$ rg --generate complete-powershell > _rg.ps1
```
And then add `. _rg.ps1` to your PowerShell
[profile](https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb613488(v=vs.85).aspx)
(note the leading period). If the `_rg.ps1` file is not on your `PATH`, do
`. /path/to/_rg.ps1` instead.
