Notably, the composer global bin directory needs to be in your path. See for instructions on how todo that. - If you're using bash, you'll have to make sure [programmable completion functions](https://github.com/scop/bash-completion) are available. Linux distributions usually ship it and enable it by default. On Mac OSX, you can install it with brew (`brew install bash-completion`) and enable it by adding `source $(brew --prefix)/etc/bash_completion` at the end of your `.bashrc`. Installation ------------ [](#installation) Install the tool globally with Composer : ``` composer global require bamarni/symfony-console-autocomplete ``` Quick setup ----------- [](#quick-setup) Add the following line at the end of your shell configuration file (`~/.bash_profile` or `~/.zshrc`) : ``` eval "$(symfony-autocomplete)" ``` Close / re-open your terminal window and you're ready to go! Static setup ------------ [](#static-setup) If you don't like all the magic from the quick setup and want to go with a more standard way, you can dump a static completion file for a given tool : ``` symfony-autocomplete composer ``` This will print the completion script for Composer to stdout. The output should be saved at a specific location depending on your OS / setup. Here are a few examples : ``` # BASH - Ubuntu / Debian symfony-autocomplete composer | sudo tee /etc/bash_completion.d/composer # BASH - Mac OSX (with Homebrew "bash-completion") symfony-autocomplete composer > $(brew --prefix)/etc/bash_completion.d/composer # ZSH - Config file symfony-autocomplete composer > ~/.composer_completion && echo "source ~/.composer_completion" >> ~/.zshrc # FISH symfony-autocomplete composer > ~/.config/fish/completions/composer.fish ``` If you are running an environment that does not have automatic execution of PHP scripts, then you will need to call PHP and the script in question : ``` symfony-autocomplete "php ./artisan" ``` General tips ------------ [](#general-tips) ### Update [](#update) To update the tool to a new version use : ``` composer global update bamarni/symfony-console-autocomplete ``` ### Symfony framework completion [](#symfony-framework-completion) In order to get completion running, you shouldn't prepend `php` at the begining of the command : ``` app/console [TAB] ``` Tips for Bash users ------------------- [](#tips-for-bash-users) ### Alias support [](#alias-support) By default, completion for your aliases won't be enabled. If you're using aliases (eg. "c" for "composer", "pspec" for "phpspec", etc.), you have to pass them explicitly : ``` symfony-autocomplete --aliases=c --aliases=pspec ``` Tips for Docker users --------------------- [](#tips-for-docker-users) ### Defining the `SHELL` environment variable [](#defining-the-shell-environment-variable) If you connect to your container using something similar to `docker exec -it container bash` then you may find that the completions cannot be built due to an inability to locate the `SHELL`environment variable. This has been reported in [bamarni#32](https://github.com/bamarni/symfony-console-autocomplete/issues/32) A solution is to supply the `SHELL` environment variable as part of the `docker exec` command: ``` docker exec -e SHELL=bash -it container bash ``` Supported tools --------------- [](#supported-tools) All tools using the Symfony Console component are supported, here is a non-exhaustive list : - composer - php-cs-fixer - behat - phpspec - robo - deployer - laravel's artisan ### Health Score 30 — LowBetter than 64% of packages Maintenance20 Infrequent updates — may be unmaintained Popularity4 Limited adoption so far Community15 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity72 Established project with proven stability Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 52.6% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
