Shell Completion

yq shell-completion --variation=zsh
Prints to StdOut a shell completion script for zsh shell.
Bash (default)
source <(yq shell-completion bash)
To load completions for each session, execute once:
Linux:
yq shell-completion bash > /etc/bash_completion.d/yq 
MacOS:
yq shell-completion bash > /usr/local/etc/bash_completion.d/yq
zsh
If shell completion is not already enabled in your environment you will need to enable it. You can execute the following once:
echo "autoload -U compinit; compinit" >> ~/.zshrc
To load completions for each session, execute once:
yq shell-completion zsh > "${fpath[1]}/_yq"
You will need to start a new shell for this setup to take effect.
fish
yq shell-completion fish | source
To load completions for each session, execute once:
yq shell-completion fish > ~/.config/fish/completions/yq.fish
PowerShell
yq shell-completion powershell
Users need PowerShell version 5.0 or above, which comes with Windows 10 and can be downloaded separately for Windows 7 or 8.1. They can then write the completions to a file and source this file from their PowerShell profile, which is referenced by the $Profile environment variable.
