gitsh is an interactive shell for git that lets you run git commands without repeatedly typing 'git'. It supports aliases, tab completion, command chaining, session-scoped config variables, and repository state in the prompt.
Use cases
- run multiple git commands without typing git each time
- get tab completion for git commands and branches
- run git commands with temporary config like pair programming identity
- chain git commands like commit and push
- see repository status in the prompt
- use gitsh with hub or gh cli
When to choose
- you issue many git commands in sequence and want less typing
- you want alias and branch completion without configuring your shell
- you need temporary git config for a session
When to avoid
- you prefer your existing shell with git aliases and plugins
- you need a GUI for git
- you only occasionally run single git commands
