Docker Machine comes with command completion for the bash and zsh shell.
Installing Command Completion
Bash
Make sure bash completion is installed. If you are using a current version of Linux in a non-minimal installation, bash completion should be available.
On a Mac, install with brew install bash-completion.
Place the completion script in /etc/bash_completion.d/ as follows:
-
On a Mac:
sudo curl -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/docker/machine/v{{site.machine_version}}/contrib/completion/bash/docker-machine.bash -o `brew --prefix`/etc/bash_completion.d/docker-machine -
On a standard Linux installation:
sudo curl -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/docker/machine/v{{site.machine_version}}/contrib/completion/bash/docker-machine.bash -o /etc/bash_completion.d/docker-machine
Completion is available upon next login.
Zsh
Place the completion script in your a completion file within the ZSH
configuration directory, such as ~/.zsh/completion/.
mkdir -p ~/.zsh/completion
curl -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/docker/machine/v{{site.machine_version}}/contrib/completion/zsh/_docker-machine > ~/.zsh/completion/_docker-machine
Include the directory in your $fpath, by adding a like the following to the
~/.zshrc configuration file.
fpath=(~/.zsh/completion $fpath)
Make sure compinit is loaded or do it by adding in ~/.zshrc:
autoload -Uz compinit && compinit -i
Then reload your shell:
exec $SHELL -l
Available completions
Depending on what you typed on the command line so far, it completes:
- commands and their options
- container IDs and names
