Generate the autocompletion script for zsh

## NAME

dasel-completion-zsh - Generate the autocompletion script for zsh

## SYNOPSIS

**dasel completion zsh \[flags\]**

## DESCRIPTION

Generate the autocompletion script for the zsh shell.

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 in your current shell session:

```
source <(dasel completion zsh)
```

To load completions for every new session, execute once:

### Linux:

```
dasel completion zsh > "${fpath[1]}/_dasel"
```

### macOS:

```
dasel completion zsh > $(brew --prefix)/share/zsh/site-functions/_dasel
```

You will need to start a new shell for this setup to take effect.
