Supported shells are currently ``bash``, ``zsh`` and +``fish``. These generated scripts will slowly become out of date over time, so +you may want to create a cron task to periodically re-generate them. + +See below for installation instructions: + +Bash +~~~~ + +.. code-block:: shell + + $ mach mach-completion bash -f _mach + $ sudo mv _mach /etc/bash_completion.d + +Bash (homebrew) +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +.. code-block:: shell + + $ mach mach-completion bash -f $(brew --prefix)/etc/bash_completion.d/mach.bash-completion + +Zsh +~~~ + +.. code-block:: shell + + $ mkdir ~/.zfunc + $ mach mach-completion zsh -f ~/.zfunc/_mach + +then edit ~/.zshrc and add: + +.. code-block:: shell + + fpath+=~/.zfunc + autoload -U compinit && compinit + +You can use any directory of your choosing. + +Zsh (oh-my-zsh) +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +.. code-block:: shell + + $ mkdir $ZSH/plugins/mach + $ mach mach-completion zsh -f $ZSH/plugins/mach/_mach + +then edit ~/.zshrc and add 'mach' to your enabled plugins: + +.. code-block:: shell + + plugins(mach ...) + +Zsh (prezto) +~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +.. code-block:: shell + + $ mach mach-completion zsh -f ~/.zprezto/modules/completion/external/src/_mach + +Fish +~~~~ + +.. code-block:: shell + + $ ./mach mach-completion fish -f ~/.config/fish/completions/mach.fish + +Fish (homebrew) +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +.. code-block:: shell + + $ ./mach mach-completion fish -f (brew --prefix)/share/fish/vendor_completions.d/mach.fish + + +User Settings +------------- + +Some mach commands can read configuration from a ``machrc`` file.
