Where it is written depends on what the package is: ```bash # added to `modules` nuxt add nuxt-shiki # a layer, added to `extends` nuxt add nuxt-seo-kit ``` ## Update Notifications Once a day, `nuxt/cli` checks in the background whether a newer version of Nuxt has been released and, if so, prints a short nudge to run `nuxt upgrade` after the command finishes. The `latest` dist-tag is read from the registry configured in your `.npmrc` and cached in your user-level `.nuxtrc`. To keep the nudge meaningful, it is not shown for prereleases, and not shown for patch releases within the same minor unless you are at least five patches behind. The check is skipped in CI, on StackBlitz, and when the output is not a terminal. Set `NUXT_IGNORE_UPDATE_CHECK=1` (or `NO_UPDATE_NOTIFIER=1`) to skip a single run, or opt out permanently by adding `updateCheck.enabled=false` to your user-level `.nuxtrc`. ## Shell Autocompletions `nuxt/cli` provides shell autocompletions for commands, options, and option values – powered by [`@bomb.sh/tab`](https://github.com/bombshell-dev/tab). ### Package Manager Integration `@bomb.sh/tab` integrates with [package managers](https://github.com/bombshell-dev/tab?tab=readme-ov-file#package-manager-completions). Autocompletions work when running `nuxt` directly within a Nuxt project: ```bash pnpm nuxt npm exec nuxt yarn nuxt bun nuxt ``` For package manager autocompletions, you should install [tab's package manager completions](https://github.com/bombshell-dev/tab?tab=readme-ov-file#package-manager-completions) separately. ## Contributing ```bash # Install dependencies pnpm i # Build project and start watcher pnpm dev # Go to the playground directory cd playground # And run any commands pnpm nuxt ``` ## License [MIT](./LICENSE) --- _Source: https://npm.io/package/@nuxt/cli · Machine-readable twin of the npm.io package page.
