Getting Started with Confluent CLI

Reference: Apache Kafka® Quick Start - Local Install With Docker

I’ve alreay installed

  • Docker Desktop
  • brew install confluentinc/tap/cli
  • I have bash-completion installed.
As explained in the [confluent completion Confluent Documentation](https://docs.confluent.io/confluent-cli/current/command-reference/confluent_completion.html), install the confluent bash completion: 
/usr/local/etc/bash_completion.d/

To start KRaft:

confluent local kafka start

you will get the message:

To continue your Confluent Local experience, run confluent local kafka topic create <topic> and confluent local kafka topic produce <topic>.

I’ve created quickstart topic:

confluent local kafka topic create quickstart
