## vespa completion zsh

Generate the autocompletion script for zsh

### Synopsis

Generate the autocompletion script for the zsh shell.

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 in your current shell session:

```
source <(vespa completion zsh)
```

To load completions for every new session, execute once:

#### Linux:

```
vespa completion zsh > "${fpath[1]}/_vespa"
```

#### macOS:

```
vespa completion zsh > $(brew --prefix)/share/zsh/site-functions/_vespa
```

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

```
vespa completion zsh [flags]
```

### Options

```
-h, --help help for zsh
      --no-descriptions disable completion descriptions
```

### Options inherited from parent commands

```
-a, --application string The application to use (cloud only)
  -C, --cluster string The container cluster to use. This is only required for applications with multiple clusters
  -c, --color string Whether to use colors in output. Must be "auto", "never", or "always" (default "auto")
