## minikube completion

Generate command completion for a shell

### Synopsis

Outputs minikube shell completion for the given shell (bash, zsh, fish or powershell)

	This depends on the bash-completion binary.  Example installation instructions:
	OS X:
		$ brew install bash-completion
		$ source $(brew --prefix)/etc/bash_completion
		$ minikube completion bash > ~/.minikube-completion  # for bash users
		$ minikube completion zsh > ~/.minikube-completion  # for zsh users
		$ source ~/.minikube-completion
		$ minikube completion fish > ~/.config/fish/completions/minikube.fish # for fish users
	Ubuntu:
		$ apt-get install bash-completion
		$ source /etc/bash_completion
		$ source <(minikube completion bash) # for bash users
		$ source <(minikube completion zsh) # for zsh users
		$ minikube completion fish > ~/.config/fish/completions/minikube.fish # for fish users

	Additionally, you may want to output the completion to a file and source in your .bashrc

	Windows:
		## Save completion code to a script and execute in the profile
		PS> minikube completion powershell > $HOME\.minikube-completion.ps1
		PS> Add-Content $PROFILE '. $HOME\.minikube-completion.ps1'

		## Execute completion code in the profile
		PS> Add-Content $PROFILE 'if (Get-Command minikube -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue) {
		        minikube completion powershell | Out-String | Invoke-Expression
		    }'

	Note for zsh users: [1] zsh completions are only supported in versions of zsh >= 5.2
	Note for fish users: [2] please refer to this docs for more details https://fishshell.com/docs/current/#tab-completion

      --stderrthreshold severity         logs at or above this threshold go to stderr when writing to files and stderr (no effect when -logtostderr=true or -alsologtostderr=true) (default 2)
      --user string                      Specifies the user executing the operation. Useful for auditing operations executed by 3rd party tools. Defaults to the operating system username.
