:::info

Completion for pnpm v9+ is incompatible with completion for older pnpm versions.
If you have already installed pnpm completion for a version older than v9, you must uninstall it first to ensure that completion for v9+ works properly.
You can do this by removing the section of code that contains `__tabtab` in your dot files.

:::

Unlike other popular package managers, which usually require plugins, pnpm
supports command line tab-completion for Bash, Zsh, Fish, and similar shells.

`pnpm completion <shell>` prints completion code to standard output. Supported
shell names are `bash`, `fish`, `pwsh`, and `zsh`.

To setup autocompletion for Bash, run:

```sh
pnpm completion bash > ~/completion-for-pnpm.bash
echo 'source ~/completion-for-pnpm.bash' >> ~/.bashrc
```

To setup autocompletion for Fish, run:

```sh
pnpm completion fish > ~/.config/fish/completions/pnpm.fish
```
