Coming from other tools

argc-completions

sigoden/argc-completions provides completions for 1000+ commands including conda. It supports bash, zsh, fish, PowerShell, Nushell, and Elvish.

argc-completions uses a generic approach that works across many tools but cannot provide conda-specific features like plugin subcommand discovery or contextual completions from project files.

To migrate:

1. Remove the conda entry from your argc-completions config.

2. Install conda-completion: conda install -c conda-forge conda-completion

3. Activate: conda completion install <your-shell>

oh-my-bash / Bash-it

Some bash frameworks include basic conda completion plugins. These are typically minimal and unaware of plugin subcommands.

To migrate:

1. Remove the conda completion plugin from your framework config.

2. Install conda-completion: conda install -c conda-forge conda-completion

3. Activate: conda completion install bash

zsh frameworks (oh-my-zsh, prezto, zinit)

If your zsh framework provides conda completions (often via the conda-zsh-completion project), see the dedicated Coming from conda-zsh-completion migration guide.

mamba / micromamba

mamba 2.x has its own built-in shell completion command for generating completions. conda-completion does not cover mamba commands; it only completes conda and its Python plugins. If you use both conda and mamba, you can run both completion systems side by side.
