CLI Shell Completion

The CLI supports shell completion for bash, and zsh. The completion script can be generated by running the following command:

$ aws-nuke completion

By default, the shell is bash unless it can detect the shell you are using. You may specify the shell by using the --shell flag.

The command will not install the completion script for you, but it will output the script to the console. You can redirect the output to a file and source it in your shell to enable completion.

Command and flag completion is supported, however for flags that require a value, the completion will not provide a list of possible values.

Warning

For flag completion to work you often need to supply only the first - and press tab, depending on your shell configuration -- followed by a tag will execute the command.

Examples

Note

The following are examples of commands you can run depending on your operating system and shell configuration.

bash

aws-nuke completion --shell bash > /etc/bash_completion.d/aws-nuke

zsh

aws-nuke completion --shell zsh > /usr/share/zsh/site-functions/_aws-nuke
