Bash Completion

To use RVM bash completion, you can source the file:

[[ -r $rvm_path/scripts/completion ]] && . $rvm_path/scripts/completion

To enable completion for all new shells put the above sourcing line just below the sourcing line for RVM in your profile (.bashrc/.bash_profile/.zshenv/whatever).

Usage

rvm use

$ rvm use [tab][tab]
1.9.3 2.0.0 default ruby-2.0.0-p481 system
1.9.3-p484 2.0.0-p481 ruby-1.9.3-p484 ruby-2.1.1

rvm gemset use

$ rvm gemset use [tab][tab]
global testing

To do

• flag completion
• 'rvm install' completion
• 'rvm gemset' completion
• 'rvm pkg' completion

ZSH Completion

To use ZSH completion for RVM, you can follow these steps:

mkdir -p $HOME/.zsh/Completion
cp $rvm/scripts/zsh/Completion/_rvm $HOME/.zsh/Completion
echo 'fpath=(~/.zsh/Completion $fpath)' >> $HOME/.zshrc
