Generate shell completions for the Spice CLI.

By default, spice completions auto-detects the user's shell and writes the completion script to the standard completion directory for that shell. If the shell cannot be detected, specify it as an argument.

Usage

shell - the shell to generate completions for. Supported values: bash, zsh, fish, elvish, powershell. If omitted, the shell is detected from the $SHELL environment variable.

Flags

• --stdout Print completions to stdout instead of writing to a file (useful for piping)
• -h, --help Print this help message

Parent directories are created automatically if they do not exist.
