Where does carapace get its completions from?

[mastermach50]

I have two questions

1. Where does carapace get completions from?
2. If it has to download them from somewhere do I have to be always connected to the internet ?

1. Where does carapace get completions from?

They are compiled into the binary. Some like gcloud are bridged.
Where appropriate, commands are executed for argument completion.
E.g. git is used to list branches, gh for repositories and so on.

2. If it has to download them from somewhere do I have to be always connected to the internet ?

No, but you will get an error message when trying to complete an argument that tries to access the internet.
