  To load completions in your current shell session:                                                                    
                                                                                                                        
  ```shell                                                                                                              
  source <(glab completion -s bash)

To load completions for every new session, run this command one time:

Linux

glab completion -s bash > /etc/bash_completion.d/glab

macOS

glab completion -s bash > /usr/local/etc/bash_completion.d/glab

Zsh

If shell completion is not already enabled in your environment you must
enable it. Run this command one time:

echo "autoload -U compinit; compinit" >> ~/.zshrc

To load completions in your current shell session:

source <(glab completion -s zsh); compdef _glab glab

To load completions for every new session, run this command one time:

Linux

glab completion -s zsh > "${fpath[1]}/_glab"

macOS

For older versions of macOS, you might need this command:

glab completion -s zsh > /usr/local/share/zsh/site-functions/_glab

The Homebrew version of glab should install completions automatically.

fish

To load completions in your current shell session:

glab completion -s fish | source

To load completions for every new session, run this command one time:

glab completion -s fish > ~/.config/fish/completions/glab.fish

PowerShell

To load completions in your current shell session:

glab completion -s powershell | Out-String | Invoke-Expression

To load completions for every new session, add the output of the above command
to your PowerShell profile.

When installing glab through a package manager, however, you might not need
more shell configuration to support completions.
For Homebrew, see brew shell completion
