I always do this: `mix <tab> <tab> <rage tab>` and then realize completions aren't built in for mix. so I hacked together something truly awful, but it works github.com/dbernheisel/... Add this ^ to your zsh fpath and then you have more helpful completions, including flags. #ElixirLang

I wonder how your solution compares to github.com/erikareads/m... ?

github.comGitHub - erikareads/mix_completions: Mix task for generating shell completions for `mix`.Mix task for generating shell completions for `mix`. - erikareads/mix_completions

A little bit different. It's a single cache globally and doesn't update on its own afaik. It supports bash. And since it's a mix task it can more intelligently get mix task info.

lotta awk and lotta sed. It caches by project since your project might have more mix tasks than others. Also, I realized that `mix help credo` is useless -- why do they have to be different and put that in `mix credo --help` ? Credo's handled as a special case.

a difference with this is that it actually runs `mix help` and `mix help ...` on things and parses the output. The other completions I've seen are static.
