Autocompletion

To enable autocompletion, you can use the completions subcommand to generate the completion script for your shell. For example, to enable completions for the zsh shell:

duckfetch completions zsh > ~/.zfunc/_duckfetch

Then, add the following line to your .zshrc file:

fpath+=~/.zfunc
autoload -Uz compinit
compinit -i
