Summary

gitsome is a free Git and GitHub command-line interface for Linux, macOS, Unix, and Windows. Its 29 GitHub-integrated commands work across shells, and its optional shell adds autocomplete and interactive help for Git commands, options, branches, tags, Git-Extras, and GitHub integrations. It can also suggest shell commands, files, directories, environment variables, man pages, and Python; Fish-style suggestions and a Python REPL through xonsh are supported. gitsome integrates with GitHub and GitHub Enterprise and can be used with Git-Extras and hub commands. Installation is available through PyPI using pip3, and the software can also run in Docker. GitHub integration may require account credentials, a two-factor authentication token, a personal access token, or other connection details. Its README lists Python 3.4, 3.5, 3.6, and 3.7 as supported, and says xonsh does not support Python 2.x. On Windows, gh user and gh me show text-only avatars. PyPI lists version 0.8.4, uploaded April 7, 2019, as the latest release.
