How to enable shell autocompletions

Zsh

If completion is not enabled already, you need to enable it first:

echo "autoload -U compinit; compinit" >> ~/.zshrc

Enable autocompletions for the current user:

echo 'source <(/path/to/bws completions zsh)' >> ~/.zshrc

Bash

Enable autocompletions for the current user:

echo 'source <(/path/to/bws completions bash)' >> ~/.bashrc

For more detailed documentation, please refer to the Secrets Manager CLI help article.

Docker

We also provide a docker image preloaded with the bws cli.

# From the root of the repository
docker build -f crates/bws/Dockerfile -t bitwarden/bws .

docker run --rm -it bitwarden/bws --help

To use a configuration file, utilize docker bind mounting to expose it to the container:

docker run --rm -it -v "$HOME"/.bws:/home/app/.bws bitwarden/bws --help
