## kubectl completion

Output shell completion code for the given shell (bash or zsh)

### Synopsis


Output shell completion code for the given shell (bash or zsh).

This command prints shell code which must be evaluation to provide interactive completion of kubectl commands.

  $ source <(kubectl completion bash)

will load the kubectl completion code for bash. Note that this depends on the bash-completion framework. It must be sourced before sourcing the kubectl completion, e.g. on the Mac:

  $ brew install bash-completion
  $ source $(brew --prefix)/etc/bash_completion
  $ source <(kubectl completion bash)

If you use zsh [1], the following will load kubectl zsh completion:

  $ source <(kubectl completion zsh)

 [1] zsh completions are only supported in versions of zsh >= 5.2

```
kubectl completion SHELL
```
