Fig makes engineers more productive in the terminal. ⠀ Our first product adds visual completions for hundreds of public CLI tools like cd, git, npm/yarn, docker, and aws. ⠀ Want private autocomplete? Create your own completions and share them with your team!
Thanks so much for hunting us, @chrismessina, and more importantly, for being an early user!!
Hey there! 🤗
I'm Brendan, co-founder & CEO of Fig, and I'm excited to share Fig's first product, autocomplete, with the PH community!
🚀 What is Fig?
Fig makes engineers and their teams more productive in the terminal. Our first app is autocomplete. Soon we'll be launching new apps + opening up our API so anyone can build their own.
⏳ Why did we build this?
The terminal has barely changed since the 70s and yet is still used every day by 10s of millions of developers. There are no hints about the 'right way' of using it. Beginners are thrown in the deep end, and companies and schools assume it as expected knowledge. We decided to build Fig to make the terminal more discoverable, collaborative, and productive!
😎 How does autocomplete work?
Fig offers completions and descriptions for subcommands, options, and arguments for over 300 CLI tools. Our completions are entirely built by the community in our open source GitHub repo. We already have 150+ contributors and would love your support too 😊
Learn how to build your first completions in < 2 minutes with our getting started guide.
🧑💻 Can I build private autocomplete for myself or my team?
Yes! You can add custom completions for personal shortcuts, your project'snpm scripts, or your team's internal CLI tool.
🖥 Which terminals do Fig work with?
On macOS, we integrate with iTerm2, the native macOS terminal, Hyper, and even the terminal embedded in VSCode. We are expanding to more terminals + Linux/Windows very soon.
🔜 What's next for Fig?
Did you think autocomplete was all there was to Fig? We have plenty more coming. Check out our launch blog post for a sneak preview.
🔥 We'd love to hear what you think!

In the short time since Fig has been out, it's become an indispensable tool for my command line. Every time I set up a new machine, I install Fig. I've found its autocomplete to be so intuitive and helpful in speeding up my productivity in the terminal. Well done, folks! Wishing you only a lot more success.
I used ZSH plugins a lot and thought they were very cool already but Fig is another level, the experience that Fig brings to me is far superior to any shell plugin!!
I couldn't live without Fig anymore. I've been using it for a looong time now and absolutely LOVE it every single day. Huge fan (and eventually also investor)! 💯
This is amazing! Cannot describe just how useful this will be, including for myself. Perfect way to help those who aren't confident in code, and will save time for those who are. Can't believe this wasn't already a thing
@hugo_ribaud1 So glad to hear it! Developers are understandably picky about their tools. So rather than building our own terminal emulator, we deliberately decided to integrate with your existing tools (like iTerm, VSCode)!
@brendan_falk_falky_ You are welcome! ^_^ Can you tell me please, are there special requirements for joining the Fig community, or I just have to subscribe? :))
Cool! Looks like a feature that should be the default! Great solution and very handy! Congrats on the launch! You've made the job easier for thousands of people.
Terminal can be time consuming and tedious, and introducing this concept of autocomplete is bound to make life easier for both engineers and just general novices trying to make their way around the terminal. Great work!
Always the biggest fan of Fig and what @brendan_falk_falky_ + @mattschrage are building. Fig makes you faster in Terminal with public and private autocompletes, whether you're using GUIs or the command line. Extra powerful because it covers a range of shells.
Better.dev also has a great breakdown of the functionalities:

Excited to see what comes next!
