Why try gith?
It brings little quality-of-life improvements that can make working with git feel smoother and sometimes even a bit quicker. For example, the “Add Tag” feature (also shown under “More Images” below the preview GIF) offers Patch / Minor / Major besides the Manual Input of tags.
Apart from that, it also just looks good ;)

For the terminal customization / starship config, check out my ubuntu customization blog article.
This is the full setup, for only starship scroll down to the starship section.

Installation

Go

If you already have Go installed, or plan to do so (easy to get new updates): Install via Go

[!TIP] If you installed gith via go install, you can run gith update to get the latest version of gith.

Binaries

If you don't wish to use Go, you can install gith via Binaries: Install via Binaries

For updates, you have to download and install the new binaries manually again

Usage

After the installation finished, just run:

gith

Some commands like adding tags are also accessible via quick select, check out the What is and what will be (features) section, to see which commands are supported.

As an example, quick select for "git tag ":

gith tag

which will start interactive mode, but already at a point to select the tag, i.e. patch / minor / major / manual input.

For more info run gith help or check out the help articles.

Gith tries to use intuitive, natural language commands, combined with the usual git commands, for example gith tag or gith update remote url.

You can also get completions for fish, base or zsh: Completions

Customization

You can set your preferred flavor and accent in the Options.
Just run gith and select "Options".

For more info check out the help articles.
