## What it is
gitsome is a Python-based command line tool that supercharges Git and GitHub workflows with 29 GitHub-integrated `gh` commands and an optional shell providing fish-style autocompletion and interactive help. It works with GitHub and GitHub Enterprise and integrates alongside standard git, hub, and git-extras commands.

## Use cases
- manage github issues and pull requests from the terminal
- autocomplete git commands and options in the shell
- avoid switching between terminal and browser for github tasks
- work with github enterprise repositories from the command line
- get interactive help for git commands
- autocompletion for shell commands, files, and environment variables

## When to choose
- you want github integration (issues, PRs, notifications) directly in your terminal
- you struggle remembering git's 150+ commands and options and want autocompletion
- you use github enterprise and need a CLI client
- you want fish-style auto-suggestions in any shell

## When to avoid
- you only need basic git operations without github integration
- you prefer a GUI client for github workflows
- you need actively developed features - the project sees infrequent releases
- you want a full git replacement rather than a complement to git
