gitsome

Why gitsome?

The Git Command Line

Although the standard Git command line is a great tool to manage your Git-powered repos, it can be tough to remember the usage of:

• 150+ porcelain and plumbing commands
• Countless command-specific options
• Resources such as tags and branches

The Git command line does not integrate with GitHub, forcing you to toggle between command line and browser.

gitsome - A Supercharged Git/GitHub CLI With Autocomplete

gitsome aims to supercharge your standard git/shell interface by focusing on:

• Improving ease-of-use
• Increasing productivity

Deep GitHub Integration

Not all GitHub workflows work well in a terminal; gitsome attempts to target those that do.

gitsome includes 29 GitHub integrated commands that work with ALL shells:

$ gh <command> [param] [options]

• Quick reference
• General reference

Run gh commands along with Git-Extras and hub commands to unlock even more GitHub integrations!

Git and GitHub Autocompleter With Interactive Help

You can run the optional shell:

 $ gitsome

to enable autocompletion and interactive help for the following:

• Git commands
• Git options
• Git branches, tags, etc
• Git-Extras commands
• GitHub integration commands

General Autocompleter

gitsome autocompletes the following:

• Shell commands
• Files and directories
• Environment variables
• Man pages
• Python

To enable additional autocompletions, check out the Enabling Bash Completions section.

Fish-Style Auto-Suggestions

gitsome supports Fish-style auto-suggestions. Use the right arrow key to complete a suggestion.

Python REPL

gitsome is powered by xonsh, which supports a Python REPL.

Run Python commands alongside shell commands:

Additional xonsh features can be found in the xonsh tutorial.

Command History

gitsome keeps track of commands you enter and stores them in ~/.xonsh_history.json. Use the up and down arrow keys to cycle through the command history.

Customizable Highlighting

You can control the ansi colors used for highlighting by updating your ~/.gitsomeconfig file.

Color options include:

'black', 'red', 'green', 'yellow',
'blue', 'magenta', 'cyan', 'white'

For no color, set the value(s) to None. white can appear as light gray on some terminals.

Available Platforms

gitsome is available for Mac, Linux, Unix, Windows, and Docker.

TODO

Not all GitHub workflows work well in a terminal; gitsome attempts to target those that do.
