posh-docker
Powershell tab completion for Docker
⚠️ posh-docker is in maintenance mode only. There is no plan to support any new features, such as management commands.
Alternatives exist, such as DockerCompletion, which provides a more extensive tab completion experience (requires PowerShell >= 5.0 and docker cli >= 1.13)
⚠️
Commands and options
All commands (start, stop, run, ...) and their options (--attach, --cpuset-mems, ...) are autocompleted.
Container and image names
Container and image names can be autocompleted. Type a command requiring a container or image name, press <TAB> and the name will be completed.
Installation
Prerequisite
Verify that docker can be run from PowerShell. If the command is not found, you will need to add a docker alias or add the docker installation folder (e.g. %ProgramFiles%\Docker Toolbox) to your PATH environment variable.
