How to use Fig without signing up

Introduction

Fig is a tool that provides terminal completion. However, according to official announcements, it seems that sign-ups are currently unavailable.

In this article, I will introduce how to use Fig without signing up or logging in.

Update (2024/07/16)
As of now, Amazon Q for command line is available, so I recommend using that instead.

Installation

First, install Fig. Please proceed by referring to Download Fig.

By the way, I installed it using brew.

brew install --cask fig

I can't sign up!

When you start Fig, the sign-up screen appears, but if you try to sign up, the following error is displayed:

Something went wrong :(
Signups are currently disabled

Cause

Upon looking closely at Download Fig, I found the following note...

Note: While we integrate with AWS,
Fig is currently not accepting new sign ups

It seems they are in the process of integrating with AWS, and new sign-ups are currently disabled.

This is quite problematic since you can't even get to the settings screen without signing up.

How to Use Without Signing Up

1. Granting Permissions

First, grant the necessary permissions.

Go to System Settings > Privacy & Security > Accessibility; Fig should be listed there, so check the box for it.

2. fig integration

Next, run the following command:

fig integrations install dotfiles

If Installed! is displayed, you are all set.

3. Restart Terminal

Finally, restart your terminal and type something like git . It should now provide suggestions.

Select with the arrow keys and press Enter to input the command.

How to Adjust Settings

Fig provides commands to adjust settings.

fig settings [key] [value]

As an example, let's try changing the theme.

fig settings autocomplete.theme light

Other settings are listed in Settings.

Conclusion

Have a great terminal life!
