# Generating PowerShell Completions For Your Own cobra.Command
|
|
|
|
Cobra can generate PowerShell completion scripts. Users need PowerShell version 5.0 or above, which comes with Windows 10 and can be downloaded separately for Windows 7 or 8.1. They can then write the completions to a file and source this file from their PowerShell profile, which is referenced by the `$Profile` environment variable. See `Get-Help about_Profiles` for more info about PowerShell profiles.

|
*Note*: PowerShell completions have not (yet?) been aligned to Cobra's generic shell completion support. This implies the PowerShell completions are not as rich as for other shells (see [What's not yet supported](#whats-not-yet-supported)), and may behave slightly differently. They are still very useful for PowerShell users.
