Microsoft Entra Shell Completion: Faster, Smarter CLI Interaction
The cursor blinks, waiting for your command. You type, but the shell slows you down. Tab completion isn’t smart enough. You need Microsoft Entra Shell Completion to take full control.
Microsoft Entra Shell Completion is a set of features that augment CLI interaction with Microsoft Entra. It brings real autocompletion for commands, parameters, and resource identifiers. No more guessing property names or digging through documentation mid-task. You get fast, accurate suggestions—direct from the Entra environment.
At its core, shell completion is an extension of your terminal. When enabled, your shell queries the Entra CLI for available options. Results update dynamically based on context: the current command, your authenticated role, and real-time data from your tenant. It’s faster, but it’s also safer. You avoid typos that can break scripts or trigger unwanted changes.
Installation starts with the Microsoft Entra CLI. Once installed, you activate completion in your preferred shell environment—Bash, Zsh, or PowerShell. Run entra completion install and restart your shell. Immediately, completion suggestions appear as you type. For PowerShell, Register-ArgumentCompleter integrates with Entra commands. For Zsh, adding the completion script to your .zshrc loads it at login.
With completion configured, advanced workflows open up. Admins can pipe completion suggestions into automation scripts. Engineers can discover available APIs without leaving the terminal. Managers tracking compliance can quickly list role assignments or access logs. The command surface area becomes visible, navigable, and instantly usable.
Microsoft Entra Shell Completion is not just convenient—it’s precision tooling for anyone working in identity management at scale. It shortens onboarding for new team members, reduces errors, and speeds delivery.
Stop working blind in your shell. Install Microsoft Entra Shell Completion, optimize your CLI experience, and enforce clean, accurate commands every time. See it live in minutes at hoop.dev and transform the way you work.
