conda-completion

Fast, plugin-aware shell tab completion for conda.

conda-completion introspects conda’s argparse command tree, including registered plugin subcommands such as workspace, global, spawn, and task when those plugins are installed. A small Rust binary handles each TAB press with no Python on the hot path, and shells with native description support can show help text alongside candidates.

conda install -c conda-forge conda-completion
conda completion install

Example

Start here

• Quick start for installation and a first completion check.

• Tutorials for shell-specific setup, project-aware completions, plugin completions, and migration guides.

• How-to guides for troubleshooting, nonstandard shell startup, remote environments, offline setup, package metadata, and plugin authoring.

• Reference for command syntax, shell support, environment variables, the manifest format, and the Rust completer interface.

• Explanation for architecture, caching, performance, scope, security, and design tradeoffs.

What it covers

• bash, zsh, PowerShell, and fish shell integration.

• Registered conda plugin subcommands when the manifest is generated.

• Environment names, task names, channels, package names, and package versions from conda and project metadata.

• Candidate descriptions in shells that support them.

• A Rust completion path that avoids starting Python on each TAB press.
