hayate completions — Generate Shell Tab Completion Scripts

Shell tab completions let you press Tab to auto-complete hayate subcommands, flags, and their accepted values instead of typing them out or consulting the docs. Once installed, typing hayate se<Tab> expands to hayate send, and hayate send --ha<Tab> fills in --hash. This saves time, reduces typos, and makes it easy to explore available options without leaving your terminal. hayate completions generates the appropriate script for your shell so you can source it into your session or install it permanently.

Usage

hayate completions <SHELL>

Supported shells: bash, zsh, fish, powershell, elvish

Setup instructions

bash
zsh
fish
PowerShell
Elvish

Write the completion script to the standard bash-completions directory, then either restart your shell or source it immediately:

hayate completions bash > ~/.local/share/bash-completion/completions/hayate
# Or for immediate effect in the current session:
source <(hayate completions bash)

If the ~/.local/share/bash-completion/completions/ directory does not exist, create it first:

mkdir -p ~/.local/share/bash-completion/completions

Write the completion script to a directory on your fpath, then register and initialize the completion system:

hayate completions zsh > ~/.zfunc/_hayate
# Add to ~/.zshrc if not already present:
fpath+=~/.zfunc
autoload -Uz compinit && compinit

After editing ~/.zshrc, reload your configuration:

source ~/.zshrc

Fish automatically loads completion files from ~/.config/fish/completions/. Drop the script there and completions are active in all new shell sessions:

hayate completions fish > ~/.config/fish/completions/hayate.fish

The completions are available immediately in new fish sessions. To apply them in your current session without restarting, run:

source ~/.config/fish/completions/hayate.fish

Pipe the completion script directly into your current session using Invoke-Expression:

hayate completions powershell | Out-String | Invoke-Expression

To persist completions across all sessions, append the one-liner to your PowerShell profile:

# Append to your $PROFILE (creates the file if it does not exist)
Add-Content -Path $PROFILE -Value "`nhayate completions powershell | Out-String | Invoke-Expression"

If your profile does not exist yet, create it first:

New-Item -ItemType File -Force -Path $PROFILE

Write the completion module to Elvish’s library directory:

hayate completions elvish > ~/.config/elvish/lib/hayate.elv

Then import the module in your ~/.config/elvish/rc.elv:

echo "use hayate" >> ~/.config/elvish/rc.elv

After installing a completion script to a file, you need to start a new shell session (or source the file explicitly) before tab completion takes effect. Changes to ~/.zshrc, ~/.bashrc, or your PowerShell $PROFILE are not applied to the current session automatically.
