Fig adds VSCode style autocomplete to your terminal

---

Fig adds autocomplete to the terminal. As you type, Fig pops up subcommands, options, and contextually relevant arguments in your existing terminal on macOS.

Add a completion spec for a CLI tool

Looking to improve autocomplete functionality or add support for your favorite CLI tool? We welcome contributions for new specs!

Completion specs are defined in a declarative schema that specifies subcommands, options and arguments. Suggestions can be generated dynamically by running shell commands or reading local files, in addition to the information in the spec itself.

Get Started

git clone https://github.com/withfig/autocomplete.git fig-autocomplete
cd fig-autocomplete

# Install packages
npm install

# Go into testing mode
npm run dev

Edit your spec in the dev/ folder. It will compile to the specs/ folder on save. Start testing your spec immediately in your terminal.

Note: Fig usually looks for completion specs in your ~/.fig/autocomplete folder. When in testing mode, we check your cloned repo's specs/ folder

Other available commands

# Create a new spec from a boilerplate template
npm run create-boilerplate

# Typecheck all specs in the dev/ folder
npm test

# Compile typescripts specs from dev/ folder to specs/ folder
npm run build

# Copy all specs from the specs/ folder to the ~/.fig/autocomplete folder
npm run copy:all

# Copy an individual spec from the specs/ folder to the ~/.fig/autocomplete folder
npm run copy <spec-name>
