kubectl completion [page]deterministic
Output shell completion code for the specified shell (bash, zsh, fish, or powershell)
##
Output shell completion code for the specified shell (bash, zsh, fish, or powershell). The shell code must be evaluated to provide interactive completion of kubectl commands. This can be done by sourcing it from the .bash_profile.
Detailed instructions on how to do this are available here:
for macOS: https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/tools/install-kubectl-macos/#enable-shell-autocompletion for linux: https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/tools/install-kubectl-linux/#enable-shell-autocompletion for windows: https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/tools/install-kubectl-windows/#enable-shell-autocompletion Note for zsh users: [1] zsh completions are only supported in versions of zsh >= 5.2.
``` kubectl completion SHELL ```
