title: npm-completion
section: 1
description: Tab Completion for npm
---
### Synopsis
```bash
npm completion
```
Note: This command is unaware of workspaces.
### Description
Enables tab-completion in all npm commands.
The synopsis above loads the completions into your current shell.
Adding it to your ~/.bashrc or ~/.zshrc will make the completions available everywhere:
```bash
npm completion >> ~/.bashrc
npm completion >> ~/.zshrc
```
You may of course also pipe the output of `npm completion` to a file such as `/usr/local/etc/bash_completion.d/npm` or
`/etc/bash_completion.d/npm` if you have a system that will read
that file for you.
When `COMP_CWORD`, `COMP_LINE`, and `COMP_POINT` are defined in the environment, `npm completion` acts in "plumbing mode", and outputs completions based on the arguments.
