# Command Completion
Compose comes with [command completion](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Command-line_completion)
for the bash and zsh shell.
## Installing Command Completion
### Bash
Make sure bash completion is installed. If you use a current Linux in a non-minimal installation, bash completion should be available.
On a Mac, install with `brew install bash-completion`
Place the completion script in `/etc/bash_completion.d/` (`/usr/local/etc/bash_completion.d/` on a Mac), using e.g.
curl -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/docker/compose/$(docker-compose --version | awk 'NR==1{print $NF}')/contrib/completion/bash/docker-compose > /etc/bash_completion.d/docker-compose
Completion will be available upon next login.
### Zsh
Place the completion script in your `/path/to/zsh/completion`, using e.g. `~/.zsh/completion/`
mkdir -p ~/.zsh/completion
curl -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/docker/compose/$(docker-compose --version | awk 'NR==1{print $NF}')/contrib/completion/zsh/_docker-compose > ~/.zsh/completion/_docker-compose
Include the directory in your `$fpath`, e.g. by adding in `~/.zshrc`
fpath=(~/.zsh/completion $fpath)
Make sure `compinit` is loaded or do it by adding in `~/.zshrc`
autoload -Uz compinit && compinit -i
Then reload your shell
exec $SHELL -l
## Available completions
Depending on what you typed on the command line so far, it will complete
- available docker-compose commands
- options that are available for a particular command
- service names that make sense in a given context (e.g. services with running or stopped instances or services based on images vs. services based on Dockerfiles). For `docker-compose scale`, completed service names will automatically have "=" appended.
- arguments for selected options, e.g. `docker-compose kill -s` will complete some signals like SIGHUP and SIGUSR1.
Enjoy working with Compose faster and with less typos!
