# completions

```bash lines theme={"system"}
qlty completions [OPTIONS]
```

Generate or install Qlty CLI shell completions

When the `--shell` argument is omitted, it will attempt to detect the current shell using the `$SHELL` environment variable (or an operating system check for PowerShell on Windows).

When the `--install` argument is specified, it will attempt to update the current user's shell configuration to include the tab completions. This operation involves *writing* to files like `.zshrc` but should generally be safe.

## Arguments

  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="--install">Install completions for the given shell</Accordion>

## Examples

```bash Install Qlty CLI completions for the current shell lines theme={"system"}
