13 <h2 id="synopsis">SYNOPSIS</h2>
14 <pre><code>. <(npm completion)
15 </code></pre><h2 id="description">DESCRIPTION</h2>
16 <p>Enables tab-completion in all npm commands.</p>
18 loads the completions into your current shell. Adding it to
19 your ~/.bashrc or ~/.zshrc will make the completions available
21 <p>You may of course also pipe the output of npm completion to a file
22 such as <code>/usr/local/etc/bash_completion.d/npm</code> if you have a system
23 that will read that file for you.</p>
24 <p>When <code>COMP_CWORD</code>, <code>COMP_LINE</code>, and <code>COMP_POINT</code> are defined in the
25 environment, <code>npm completion</code> acts in "plumbing mode", and outputs
26 completions based on the arguments.</p>
