+  COMPLETION
+    Shell completion for command line options can be enabled by using the
+    --completion flag. The required parameter is the name of your shell.
+    Currently supported are: bash, zsh, fish and powershell.
+
+    Detailed instructions:
+
+    Bash:
+           source <(tablizer --completion bash)
+
+        To load completions for each session, execute once:
+
+          # Linux:
+          $ tablizer --completion bash > /etc/bash_completion.d/tablizer
+
+          # macOS:
+          $ tablizer --completion bash > $(brew --prefix)/etc/bash_completion.d/tablizer
+
+    Zsh:
+        If shell completion is not already enabled in your environment, you
+        will need to enable it. You can execute the following once:
+
+          echo "autoload -U compinit; compinit" >> ~/.zshrc
+
+        To load completions for each session, execute once:
+
+          $ tablizer --completion zsh > "${fpath[1]}/_tablizer"
+
+        You will need to start a new shell for this setup to take effect.
+
+    fish:
+           tablizer --completion fish | source
+
+        To load completions for each session, execute once:
+
+           tablizer --completion fish > ~/.config/fish/completions/tablizer.fish
+
+    PowerShell:
+           tablizer --completion powershell | Out-String | Invoke-Expression
+
+        To load completions for every new session, run:
+
+           tablizer --completion powershell > tablizer.ps1
+
+        and source this file from your PowerShell profile.
