Zsh tab completion not working on Mac

See original GitHub issue

Hi, I’ve installed tab completion script following the commands.

    $ curl https://cheat.sh/:zsh > ~/.zsh.d/_cht
    $ echo 'fpath=(~/.zsh.d/ $fpath)' >> ~/.zshrc
    $ # Open a new shell to load the plugin

However, even if I have ran source ~/.zshrc, when I type cht.sh go/f, the suggestion didn’t show up. Am I missing something? Thanks!

_cht execution was only a reaction to @ab-10’s comment.

Yes, after adding compinit tab-completion works flawlessly. I wanted only to confirm your suggestion because there were no reactions from others on whether compinit solved the issue.

Maybe not everyone is aware of compinit, and adding a note that compinit is required to the ZSH Tab completion section in README would be suitable.

But you are not supposed to execute _cht, you just use it.

I’ve tested it tab-completion with zsh 5.8, and everything perfectly works.

$ cht.sh go/<TAB>
