Shell completions (Bash · Zsh · Fish)

tarea can generate ready‑to‑use completion scripts and even keeps them ID aware, so you can tab‑complete flags like --show, --edit, --done, etc.

Install once (write a file)

# Bash, system‑wide
sudo tarea --completions bash >/etc/bash_completion.d/tarea

# Zsh (user scope)
mkdir -p ~/.zsh/completions
tarea --completions zsh >~/.zsh/completions/_tarea

# Fish (user scope)
mkdir -p ~/.config/fish/completions
tarea --completions fish >~/.config/fish/completions/tarea.fish

Restart or source the file and completion will be ready.

Always up‑to‑date (auto‑load in your rc)

# ~/.bashrc
command -v tarea >/dev/null && eval "$(tarea --completions bash)"

# ~/.zshrc
(( $+commands[tarea] )) && eval "$(tarea --completions zsh)"

# ~/.config/fish/config.fish
type -q tarea; and tarea --completions fish | source

That's it, every new shell session re‑generates completions, so they stay in sync with your installed tarea version.

Display

• Each task shows an 8‑character UUID prefix, status, name, and the creation timestamp.
