carapace

brew install carapace v1.7.1 MIT

Go command-line completion engine that generates shell completions for any command.

Why you might care

Carapace provides intelligent, context-aware argument completion across bash, zsh, fish, and other shells without requiring per-command setup. It's useful if you want rich completions for tools that don't ship them natively, and it works as a bridge for older or lesser-known CLI utilities. Especially valuable in multi-shell environments.
