Carapace-bin is a multi-shell argument completion binary written in Go that provides tab completion for hundreds of CLI commands. It works across POSIX and non-POSIX shells including Bash, Zsh, Fish, Nushell, PowerShell, Elvish, Xonsh, and more.

Use cases

• add tab completion for cli commands in zsh
• shell autocompletion for hundreds of commands
• unified completion across bash fish and nushell
• complete git docker kubectl arguments in powershell
• write custom completion specs for my own cli
• replace per-shell completion scripts with one binary

When to choose

• you use multiple shells and want consistent completions
• you want completions for many commands without installing per-shell scripts
• you need to define custom completions via specs or macros

When to avoid

• you only need completion for a single shell and its native system suffices
• you need completion for a shell not on the supported list
• you want a library embedded in your own Go program (use carapace core library instead)
