A Supercharged Git/Shell Autocompleter with GitHub Integration.
Motivation
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
Out of the box, the Git command line does not provide integration with GitHub, forcing users to toggle between command line and browser.
gitsome
: A Supercharged Git/Shell CLI with GitHub Integration
gitsome
aims to supercharge the standard git/shell interface by focusing on:
- Improving ease-of-use
- Increasing productivity
GitHub Integration
gitsome
provides direct integration with GitHub.
Not all GitHub workflows work well in a terminal; gitsome
attempts to target those that do.
Git and GitHub Autocompleter with Interactive Help
gitsome
will autocomplete and provide interactive help for the following:
General Autocompleter
gitsome
will autocomplete the following:
- Shell commands
- Files and directories
- Environment variables
- Man pages
- Python
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
.
Available Platforms
gitsome
is available for Mac, Linux, Unix, and Windows.
TODO
Not all GitHub workflows work well in a terminal;
gitsome
attempts to target those that do.
- Add additional GitHub API integrations
gitsome
is just getting started. Feel free to contribute!

Having trouble remembering these commands? Check out the handy autocompleter with interactive help to guide you through each command.
Note, you can combine gitsome
with other utilities such as Git-Extras.
Installation
Pip Installation
gitsome
is hosted on PyPI. The following command will install gitsome
:
$ pip install gitsome
You can also install the latest gitsome
from GitHub source which can contain changes not yet pushed to PyPI:
$ pip install git+https://github.com/donnemartin/gitsome.git
If you are not installing in a virtualenv, run with sudo
:
$ sudo pip install gitsome
Once installed, run the optional gitsome
autocompleter with interactive help:
$ gitsome
Run GitHub-integrated commands:
$ gh [param] [options]
Note: Running the gitsome
shell is not required to execute gh
commands. After installing gitsome
you can run gh
commands from your shell.
Running the gitsome
shell will provide you with autocompletion, interactive help, fish-style suggestions, a Python REPL, etc.
Virtual Environment Installation
It is recommended that you install Python packages in a virtualenv to avoid potential issues with dependencies or permissions.
To view gitsome
virtualenv
installation instructions, click here.
Running the gh configure
Command
To properly integrate with GitHub, gitsome
must be properly configured:
$ gh configure
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
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:
$ pip 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
- Mac OS X
- Linux, Unix
- Tested on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS
- Windows
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.
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:

$ gitsome
$ gh [param] [options]
