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, you need to have a Go development environment:
$ git clone https://github.com/github/hub.git
$ cd hub
# Assuming `~/bin` is in your PATH:
$ ./script/build -o ~/bin/hub
Or, if you've done Go development before and your $GOPATH/bin directory is already in your PATH:
$ 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.
