## How to load completions

### Bash

```bash theme={null}
source <(pscale completion bash)

# To load completions for each session, execute once:
# Linux:
pscale completion bash > /etc/bash_completion.d/pscale
# macOS:
pscale completion bash > /usr/local/etc/bash_completion.d/pscale
```

### Zsh

```bash theme={null}
# 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:
pscale completion zsh > "${fpath[1]}/_yourprogram"

# You will need to start a new shell for this setup to take effect.
```

### fish

```bash theme={null}
pscale completion fish | source

# To load completions for each session, execute once:
pscale completion fish > ~/.config/fish/completions/pscale.fish
```

### PowerShell

```bash theme={null}
pscale completion powershell | Out-String | Invoke-Expression

# To load completions for every new session, run:
pscale completion powershell > pscale.ps1
# and source this file from your PowerShell profile.
```
