git + hub = github
hub is a command line tool that wraps git
in order to extend it with extra
features and commands that make working with GitHub easier.
$ hub clone rtomayko/tilt
# expands to:
$ git clone git://github.com/rtomayko/tilt.git
hub is best aliased as git
, so you can type $ git <command>
in the shell and
get all the usual hub
features. See "Aliasing" below.
Installation
Dependencies:
- git 1.7.3 or newer
Homebrew
hub
can be installed through Homebrew:
$ brew install hub
$ hub version
git version 1.7.6
hub version 2.2.0
Standalone
hub
can be easily installed as an executable. Download the latest
compiled binaries and put it anywhere
in your executable path.
Source
To install hub from source:
$ git clone https://github.com/github/hub.git
$ cd hub
$ make install prefix=/usr/local
Prerequisites for compilation are:
make
- Go 1.6+
- Ruby 1.9+ with Bundler - for generating man pages
If you don't have make
, Ruby, or want to skip man pages (for example, if you
are on Windows), you can build only the hub
binary:
$ ./script/build
You can now move bin/hub
to somewhere in your PATH.
Finally, if you've done Go development before and your $GOPATH/bin
directory
is already in your PATH, this is an alternative installation method that fetches
hub into your GOPATH and builds it automatically:
$ go get github.com/github/hub
Aliasing
Using hub feels best when it's aliased as git
. This is not dangerous; your
normal git commands will all work. hub merely adds some sugar.
hub alias
displays instructions for the current shell. With the -s
flag, it
outputs a script suitable for eval
.
You should place this command in your .bash_profile
or other startup script:
eval "$(hub alias -s)"
Shell tab-completion
hub repository contains tab-completion scripts for bash and zsh. These scripts complement existing completion scripts that ship with git.
