 - `juliaup override set --path foo/bar lts` sets a directory override for the path `foo/bar` to the `lts` channel.
 - `juliaup override unset --path foo/bar` removes a directory override for the path `foo/bar`.
 - `juliaup override unset --nonexistent` removes all directory overrides for paths that no longer exist.
-- `juliaup completions bash > ~/.local/share/bash-completion/completions/juliaup` generates Bash completions for `juliaup` and saves them to a file. To use them, simply source this file in your `~/.bashrc`. Other supported shells are `zsh`, `fish`, `elvish` and `powershell`.

 Juliaup by default downloads julia binary tarballs from the official server "https://julialang-s3.julialang.org".
 If requested, the environment variable `JULIAUP_SERVER` can be used to tell Juliaup to use a third-party mirror server.
 
+## Shell completions
+
+To generate shell completions, load `COMPLETE=$SHELL juliaup` at shell launch. For example, with bash, it could look like `source <(COMPLETE=bash juliaup)`.
+
+For more specific information on adding completions to your shell, see https://docs.rs/clap_complete/latest/clap_complete/env/index.html
+
+Note: MacOS ships with an ancient version of bash that does not support process substitution. To work around this, you can create a temporary file and `source` that instead like:
+
+```bash
+COMPLETE=bash juliaup > /tmp/juliaup_completion.sh
+source /tmp/juliaup_completion.sh
+```
