Shell Completion

lde ships tab-completion for bash, zsh, and fish. Completions cover commands, flags, and file paths.

Enable completions

Add the generated script to your shell’s rc file:

# bash — add to ~/.bashrc
eval "$(lde completion bash)"

# zsh — add to ~/.zshrc
eval "$(lde completion zsh)"

# fish — add to config.fish
lde completion fish | source

You can also print the script to inspect it:

lde completion bash

What completes

• Commands — type lde <TAB> to see every command and alias.
• Scripts — inside a project, lde <TAB> also suggests your lde.json script names (e.g. dev), and lde run <TAB> suggests them alongside files.
• Flags — type a command followed by <TAB> to see its flags (e.g. lde run <TAB>), plus the global flags like -C and --help.
• Sub-commands — lde help <TAB> and lde completion <TAB> complete command names.
• Files and directories — options that take a path (like -C and --outfile) complete paths directly, and everything typed after -- is treated as positional and completes as files.
