kubectl auto-completion for PowerShell

⛔This library is no longer actively developed. kubectl has added PowerShell completion which you can now use. Thank you to everybody who contributed and used the project 🖖🏽.

PowerShell auto-completion for kubectl

kubectl tab-completion for PowerShell. Auto-completion is based on Kubernetes 1.18 client version.

Minimum PowerShell version: PowerShell 5.1

Installation from PowerShell Gallery:

Install-Module -Name PSKubectlCompletion

Features and Usage:

Import module and register completions as shown below.

After registering tab-completion use Tab to complete kubectl commands.

Import-Module PSKubectlCompletion
Set-Alias k -Value kubectl
Register-KubectlCompletion

Note Set-Alias is optional, but If setting an alias for kubectl, the Set-Alias command should be before Register-KubectlCompletion.

You can add import to your profile to avoid calling it each time you open shell:

Add-Content --Path $PROFILE --Value "Import-Module PSKubectlCompletion"

How to make auto completion work with alias

Hi mziyabo,

Thanks for the great tool! I am new to k8s, so this helps me a lot!

I have a question as how to enable auto completion after I set alias for kubectl.

Specially, here is what I've in PS profile:

Import-Module PSKubectlCompletion
Register-KubectlCompletion
Set-Alias -Name k -Value kubectl -Scope global

Auto completion only works for kubectl but not for k.

Do you know how to make it work for alias?

Thanks very much!

Implement tab completions for resource names

Thanks already so far for this!,

It would be amazing if all the tab completions would work in the future like for bash using: https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/tools/install-kubectl/#introduction

It does not seem to autocomplete namespace name

When I type k get pod -n startOfNamespaceName<tab> I'm not getting autocompletion on the namespace name. Am I doing it wrong?
