Coming from conda-bash-completion

tartansandal/conda-bash-completion is a bash-only completion tool available on conda-forge. It parses conda --help output at completion time to discover commands and flags.

What changes

	conda-bash-completion	conda-completion
Shells	bash only	bash, zsh, PowerShell, fish
Plugin subcommands	Not supported	Automatic
Completion speed	Runs conda --help on every TAB	Reads cached manifest, no Python
Contextual completions	No	env names, tasks, channels
Descriptions	No	Yes (zsh, fish, PowerShell)

Migration steps

1. Remove conda-bash-completion

conda remove conda-bash-completion

If you installed it manually, remove the sourcing line from your ~/.bashrc:

# Remove this line:
source /path/to/conda-bash-completion/conda

2. Install conda-completion

conda install -c conda-forge conda-completion

3. Activate

conda completion install

4. Restart your shell

Open a new terminal and test conda <TAB>.

What you gain

• Plugin subcommands like conda workspace, conda global, and conda task are included in the generated manifest.

• Completion avoids running conda --help on every TAB press. The Rust binary reads a pre-built manifest instead.

• If you later switch to zsh or another shell, the same tool works.
