+## Tab completions

+When using .NET SDK 10 or newer, tab completions for the `dotnet` CLI are automatically installed for bash, zsh, and fish. The completion scripts are placed in the standard system-wide directories so they work for all users:

+- **Bash**: `/usr/share/bash-completion/completions/dotnet`
+- **Zsh**: `/usr/share/zsh/site-functions/_dotnet`
+- **Fish**: `/usr/share/fish/vendor_completions.d/dotnet.fish`
+
+To disable this, set `tabCompletions` to `false`:
