confluent completion

Description

Use this command to print the output shell completion code for the specified shell (Bash/Zsh only). The shell code must be evaluated to provide interactive completion of confluent commands.

Prerequisites
Install Bash completions on macOS:

  1. Install Homebrew.

  2. Install Bash completions using homebrew:

    brew install bash-completion
    Copy

  3. Update your Bash profile for the Confluent CLI:

    echo '[[ -r "$(brew --prefix)/etc/profile.d/bash_completion.sh" ]] && . "$(brew --prefix)/etc/profile.d/bash_completion.sh"' >> ~/.bash_profile
    Copy

  4. Run the following command to install auto completion for the Confluent CLI:

    confluent completion bash > $(brew --prefix)/etc/bash_completion.d/confluent
    Copy
Install Bash completions on Linux:

  1. Install Bash completion:

    sudo apt-get install bash-completion
    Copy

  2. Set the confluent completion code for Bash to a file that’s sourced on login:

    confluent completion bash > /etc/bash_completion.d/confluent
    Copy

  3. Load the confluent completion code for Bash into the current shell:

    source /etc/bash_completion.d/confluent
    Copy

  4. Add the source command above to your ~/.bashrc or ~/.bash_profile to enable completions for new terminals.

Install Zsh completions:

Zsh looks for completion functions in the directories listed in the fpath shell variable.

  1. Put the confluent completion code for zsh into a file in one the fpath directories, preferably one of the functions directories. eg:

    confluent completion zsh > ${fpath[1]}/_confluent
    Copy

  2. Enable Zsh completions:

    autoload -U compinit && compinit
    Copy

  3. Add the autoload command in your ~/.zshrc to enable completions for new terminals. If you encounter error messages about insecure files, you can resolve by running the chown command to change the _confluent file to the same user:group as the other files in ${fpath[1]}/.

  4. To update your completion scripts after updating the CLI, run confluent completion <bash|zsh> again and overwrite the file initially created above.

    confluent completion <shell> [flags]
    Copy
