>_ZSH-MORE-COMPLETIONS

Every CLI you've heard of, completed. Plus several you haven't. The largest curated zsh completion corpus in existence. Most files were auto-generated by Python scripts that parse --help output, man pages, and upstream argument parsers (clap derive, argparse, Getopt::Long, urfave/cli, cobra, Click, Kong, …). All have been cleaned, verified, and validated by a large zunit suite. The upstream source URL is embedded in every completion file.

Install

# Zinit (recommended) -- nocompletions ice keeps fpath order correct
zinit ice lucid nocompile wait'0e' nocompletions
zinit load MenkeTechnologies/zsh-more-completions

# Oh My Zsh -- needs explicit nested-dir fpath wiring before compinit
git clone https://github.com/MenkeTechnologies/zsh-more-completions \
    "$HOME/.oh-my-zsh/custom/plugins/zsh-more-completions"
# plugins+=(zsh-more-completions)
# plus the fpath snippet from the README -- OMZ does not add nested *src dirs

# Manual
git clone https://github.com/MenkeTechnologies/zsh-more-completions
# copy _* files from src/, more_src/, man_src/, override_src/, architecture_src/
# to somewhere on your fpath, then: autoload -Uz compinit && compinit

Boot sequence

# initialize compsys
autoload -Uz compinit && compinit

# faster boot: skip the security check and load the cached dump
compinit -C

Directory layout

`src/`	main completions
`more_src/`	additional completions
`man_src/`	completions parsed from man pages
`override_src/`	overrides (prepended to fpath)
`architecture_src/`	cross-architecture toolchains (`aarch64-linux-gnu-`, `arm-none-eabi-`)

Stats

Counts change constantly — do not edit totals by hand. From the repo root:

zsh scripts/print-repo-stats.zsh

Prints _-prefixed completion file counts per directory, total_completions, and zunit_tests (number of @test entries under tests/).
