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:

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

<p align="center"> <img src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/donnemartin/gitsome/develop/images/logo.png"> </p>

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

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]

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 <u>optional</u> shell:

 $ gitsome

to enable autocompletion and interactive help for the following:

Imgur

General Autocompleter

gitsome autocompletes the following:

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

Imgur

Fish-Style Auto-Suggestions

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

Imgur

Python REPL

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

Run Python commands alongside shell commands:

Imgur

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.

Imgur

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.

Imgur

Available Platforms

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

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

gitsome is just getting started. Feel free to contribute!

Installation

Pip Installation

PyPI version PyPI

gitsome is hosted on PyPI. The following command will install gitsome:

$ pip3 install gitsome

You can also install the latest gitsome from GitHub source which can contain changes not yet pushed to PyPI:

$ pip3 install git+https://github.com/donnemartin/gitsome.git

If you are not installing in a virtualenv, you might need to run with sudo:

$ sudo pip3 install gitsome

pip3

Depending on your setup, you might also want to run pip3 with the -H flag:

$ sudo -H pip3 install gitsome

For most linux users, pip3 can be installed on your system using the python3-pip package.

For example, Ubuntu users can run:

$ sudo apt-get install python3-pip

See this ticket for more details.

Virtual Environment Installation

You can install Python packages in a virtualenv to avoid potential issues with dependencies or permissions.

If you are a Windows user or if you would like more details on virtualenv, check out this guide.

Install virtualenv and virtualenvwrapper:

$ pip3 install virtualenv
$ pip3 install virtualenvwrapper
$ export WORKON_HOME=~/.virtualenvs
$ source /usr/local/bin/virtualenvwrapper.sh

Create a gitsome virtualenv and install gitsome:

$ mkvirtualenv gitsome
$ pip3 install gitsome

If the pip install does not work, you might be running Python 2 by default. Check what version of Python you are running:

$ python --version

If the call above results in Python 2, find the path for Python 3:

$ which python3  # Python 3 path for mkvirtualenv's --python option

Install Python 3 if needed. Set the Python version when calling mkvirtualenv:

$ mkvirtualenv --python [Python 3 path from above] gitsome
$ pip3 install gitsome

If you want to activate the gitsome virtualenv again later, run:

$ workon gitsome

To deactivate the gitsome virtualenv, run:

$ deactivate

Running as a Docker Container

You can run gitsome in a Docker container to avoid installing Python and pip3 locally. To install Docker check out the official Docker documentation.

Once you have docker installed you can run gitsome:

$ docker run -ti --rm mariolet/gitsome

You can use Docker volumes to let gitsome access your working directory, your local .gitsomeconfig and .gitconfig:

$ docker run -ti --rm -v $(pwd):/src/              \
   -v ${HOME}/.gitsomeconfig:/root/.gitsomeconfig  \
   -v ${HOME}/.gitconfig:/root/.gitconfig          \
   mariolet/gitsome

If you are running this command often you will probably want to define an alias:

$ alias gitsome="docker run -ti --rm -v $(pwd):/src/              \
                  -v ${HOME}/.gitsomeconfig:/root/.gitsomeconfig  \
                  -v ${HOME}/.gitconfig:/root/.gitconfig          \
                  mariolet/gitsome"

To build the Docker image from sources:

$ git clone https://github.com/donnemartin/gitsome.git
$ cd gitsome
$ docker build -t gitsome .

Starting the gitsome Shell

Once installed, run the optional gitsome autocompleter with interactive help:

$ gitsome

Running the optional gitsome shell will provide you with autocompletion, interactive help, fish-style suggestions, a Python REPL, etc.

Running gh Commands

Run GitHub-integrated commands:

$ gh <command> [param] [options]

Note: Running the gitsome shell is not required to execute gh commands. After installing gitsome you can run gh commands from any shell.

Running the gh configure Command

To properly integrate with GitHub, gitsome must be properly configured:

$ gh configure

For GitHub Enterprise Users

Run with the -e/--enterprise flag:

$ gh configure -e

View more details in the gh configure section.

Enabling Bash Completions

By default, gitsome looks at the following locations to enable bash completions.

To add additional bash completions, update the ~/.xonshrc file with the location of your bash completions.

If ~/.xonshrc does not exist, create it:

$ touch ~/.xonshrc

For example, if additional completions are found in /usr/local/etc/my_bash_completion.d/completion.bash, add the following line in ~/.xonshrc:

$BASH_COMPLETIONS.append('/usr/local/etc/my_bash_completion.d/completion.bash')

You will need to restart gitsome for the changes to take effect.

Enabling gh Tab Completions Outside of gitsome

You can run gh commands outside of the gitsome shell completer. To enable gh tab completions for this workflow, copy the gh_complete.sh file locally.

Let bash know completion is available for the gh command within your current session:

$ source /path/to/gh_complete.sh

To enable tab completion for all terminal sessions, add the following to your bashrc file:

source /path/to/gh_complete.sh

Reload your bashrc:

$ source ~/.bashrc

Tip: . is the short form of source, so you can run this instead:

$ . ~/.bashrc

For Zsh Users

zsh includes a module which is compatible with bash completions.

Download the gh_complete.sh file as above and append the following to your .zshrc:

autoload bashcompinit
bashcompinit
source /path/to/gh_complete.sh

Reload your zshrc:

 $ source ~/.zshrc

Optional: Installing PIL or Pillow

Displaying the avatar for the gh me and gh user commands will require installing the optional PIL or Pillow dependency.

Windows* and Mac:

$ pip3 install Pillow

*See the Windows Support section for limitations on the avatar.

Ubuntu users, check out these instructions on askubuntu

Supported Python Versions

gitsome is powered by xonsh which does not currently support Python 2.x, as discussed in this ticket.

Supported Platforms

Windows Support

gitsome has been tested on Windows 10 with cmd and cmder.

Although you can use the standard Windows command prompt, you'll probably have a better experience with either cmder or conemu.

Imgur

Text Only Avatar

The commands gh user and gh me will always have the -t/--text_avatar flag enabled, since img2txt does not support the ansi avatar on Windows.

Config File

On Windows, the .gitsomeconfig file can be found in %userprofile%. For example:

C:\Users\dmartin\.gitsomeconfig

Developer Installation

If you're interested in contributing to gitsome, run the following commands:

$ git clone https://github.com/donnemartin/gitsome.git
$ cd gitsome
$ pip3 install -e .
$ pip3 install -r requirements-dev.txt
$ gitsome
$ gh <command> [param] [options]

pip3

If you get an error while installing saying that you need Python 3.4+, it could be because your pip command is configured for an older version of Python. To fix this issue, it is recommended to install pip3:

$ sudo apt-get install python3-pip

See this ticket for more details.

Continuous Integration

Build Status

Continuous integration details are available on Travis CI.

Unit Tests and Code Coverage
