# Autocompletion
[← Platforms specification](platforms-specification.md)
The `dsh` tool has a hidden argument `--generate-autocomplete-file`, which can be used
to generate an autocompletion file for the following shells:
* `bash` - Bourne-again shell
* `elvish` - Elvish shell
* `fish` - Fish shell
* `powershell` - Microsoft Powershell
* `zsh` - Z shell
For the `zsh` shell see below. For the other shell types, please consult your shell's documentation
how to install the autocompletion file.
## Bourne-again shell
```bash
> dsh --generate-autocomplete-file bash
```
## Elvish shell
```bash
> dsh --generate-autocomplete-file elvish
```
## Fish shell
```bash
> dsh --generate-autocomplete-file fish
```
## Microsoft Powershell
```bash
> dsh --generate-autocomplete-file powershell
```
## Z shell
Run `dsh` with the `--generate-autocomplete-file zsh` flag and redirect the result
to an autocomplete file name `_dsh`.
```bash
> dsh --generate-autocomplete-file zsh > _dsh
```
Then copy the autocomplete file to your `zsh` autocomplete directory.
Note that this most likely will require `sudo`.
```bash
> mv _dsh /usr/local/share/zsh/site-functions/_dsh
```
Finally, add the following two lines to your `~/.zshrc` file.
```
# enable autocomplete
autoload -Uz compinit
compinit
```
