source <(carapace _carapace)

# elvish (~/.elvish/rc.elv)
eval (carapace _carapace|slurp)

# fish (~/.config/fish/config.fish)
mkdir -p ~/.config/fish/completions
carapace --list | awk '{print $1}' | xargs -I{} touch ~/.config/fish/completions/{}.fish # disable auto-loaded completions (#185)
carapace _carapace | source

# nushell

## ~/.config/nushell/env.nu
mkdir ~/.cache/carapace
carapace _carapace nushell | save --force ~/.cache/carapace/init.nu
