molecli Shell Completion

The molecule CLI (molecli) supports shell completion for bash, zsh, fish, and PowerShell. Completion scripts are auto-generated by Cobra and cover all subcommands and flags.

Install

bash

Add to ~/.bashrc or ~/.bash_completion.d/:

source <(molecule completion bash)

Or source from your profile:

# In ~/.bash_profile or ~/.bashrc
[[ -f ~/.bash_completion ]] && source ~/.bash_completion
source <(molecule completion bash)

zsh

Add to ~/.zshrc:

autoload -U compinit && compinit
autoload -Uz bashcompinit && bashcompinit
source <(molecule completion zsh)
compdef _molecule molecule

Completion will activate automatically after restarting your shell or running source ~/.zshrc.

fish

molecule completion fish | source

To persist across sessions, add the line above to ~/.config/fish/config.fish.

PowerShell

Add to your PowerShell profile ($PROFILE):

molecule completion powershell | Out-String | Invoke-Expression

To find and edit your profile:

Split-Path $PROFILE
code $PROFILE  # or your preferred editor

Supported Shells

Verifying

After sourcing, test by typing a partial command:

molecule <TAB><TAB>

You should see available subcommands: completion, workspace, config, etc.
