A tool for glamorous shell scripts. Leverage the power of
[Bubbles](https://github.com/charmbracelet/bubbles) and [Lip
Gloss](https://github.com/charmbracelet/lipgloss) in your scripts and aliases
without writing any Go code!
The above example is running from a single shell script ([source](./examples/demo.sh)).
## Tutorial
Gum provides highly configurable, ready-to-use utilities to help you write
useful shell scripts and dotfiles aliases with just a few lines of code.
Let's build a simple script to help you write [Conventional
Commits](https://www.conventionalcommits.org/en/v1.0.0/#summary) for your
dotfiles.
Start with a `#!/bin/sh`.
```bash
#!/bin/sh
```
Ask for the commit type with `gum choose`:
```bash
gum choose "fix" "feat" "docs" "style" "refactor" "test" "chore" "revert"
```
> Tip: this command itself will print to `stdout` which is not all that useful.
To make use of the command later on you can save the stdout to a `$VARIABLE` or
`file.txt`.
Prompt for an (optional) scope for the commit:
```bash
gum input --placeholder "scope"
```
Prompt for a commit message:
```bash
gum input --placeholder "Summary of this change"
```
Prompt for a detailed (multi-line) explanation of the changes:
```bash
gum write --placeholder "Details of this change (CTRL+D to finish)"
```
Prompt for a confirmation before committing:
> `gum confirm` exits with status `0` if confirmed and status `1` if cancelled.
```bash
gum confirm "Commit changes?" && git commit -m "$SUMMARY" -m "$DESCRIPTION"
```
Putting it all together...
```bash
#!/bin/sh
TYPE=$(gum choose "fix" "feat" "docs" "style" "refactor" "test" "chore" "revert")
SCOPE=$(gum input --placeholder "scope")
# Since the scope is optional, wrap it in parentheses if it has a value.
test -n "$SCOPE" && SCOPE="($SCOPE)"
# Pre-populate the input with the type(scope): so that the user may change it
SUMMARY=$(gum input --value "$TYPE$SCOPE: " --placeholder "Summary of this change")
DESCRIPTION=$(gum write --placeholder "Details of this change (CTRL+D to finish)")
# Commit these changes
gum confirm "Commit changes?" && git commit -m "$SUMMARY" -m "$DESCRIPTION"
```
## Installation
Use a package manager:
```bash
# macOS or Linux
brew install gum
# Arch Linux (btw)
pacman -S gum
# Nix
nix-env -iA nixpkgs.gum
# Debian/Ubuntu
echo "deb https://repo.charm.sh/apt/ * *" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/charm.list
curl https://repo.charm.sh/apt/gpg.key | sudo apt-key add -
sudo apt update && sudo apt install gum
# Fedora
echo '[charm]
name=Charm
baseurl=https://repo.charm.sh/yum/
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=https://repo.charm.sh/yum/gpg.key' | sudo tee /etc/yum.repos.d/charm.repo
sudo yum install gum
```
Or download it:
* [Packages][releases] are available in Debian and RPM formats
* [Binaries][releases] are available for Linux, macOS, and Windows
Or just install it with `go`:
```bash
go install github.com/charmbracelet/gum@latest
```
[releases]: https://github.com/charmbracelet/gum/releases
## Customization
`gum` is designed to be embedded in scripts and supports all sorts of use
cases. Components are configurable and customizable to fit your theme and
use case.
You can customize with `--flags`. See `gum --help` for a full view of
each command's customization and configuration options.
For example, let's use an `input` and change the cursor color, prompt color,
prompt indicator, placeholder text, width, and pre-populate the value:
```bash
gum input --cursor.foreground "#FF0" --prompt.foreground "#0FF" --prompt "* " \
--placeholder "What's up?" --width 80 --value "Not much, hby?"
```
You can also use `ENVIRONMENT_VARIABLES` to customize `gum` by default, this is
useful to keep a consistent theme for all your `gum` commands.
```bash
export GUM_INPUT_CURSOR_FOREGROUND="#FF0"
export GUM_INPUT_PROMPT_FOREGROUND="#0FF"
export GUM_INPUT_PLACEHOLDER="What's up?"
export GUM_INPUT_PROMPT="* "
export GUM_INPUT_WIDTH=80
# Uses values configured through environment variables above but can still be
# overridden with flags.
gum input
```
## Interaction
#### Input
Prompt for input with a simple command.
```bash
gum input > answer.txt
```
Prompt for sensitive input with the `--password` flag.
```bash
gum input --password > password.txt
```
#### Write
Prompt for some multi-line text.
Note: `CTRL+D` and `esc` are used to complete text entry. `CTRL+C` will cancel.
```bash
gum write > story.txt
```
#### Filter
Use fuzzy matching to filter a list of values:
```bash
echo Strawberry >> flavors.txt
echo Banana >> flavors.txt
echo Cherry >> flavors.txt
cat flavors.txt | gum filter > selection.txt
```
You can also select multiple items with the `--limit` flag, which determines
the maximum number of items that can be chosen.
```bash
cat flavors.txt | gum filter --limit 2
```
Or, allow any number of selections with the `--no-limit` flag.
```bash
cat flavors.txt | gum filter --no-limit
```
#### Choose
Choose an option from a list of choices.
```bash
echo "Pick a card, any card..."
CARD=$(gum choose --height 15 {{A,K,Q,J},{10..2}}" "{♠,♥,♣,♦})
echo "Was your card the $CARD?"
```
You can also select multiple items with the `--limit` flag, which determines
the maximum of items that can be chosen.
```bash
echo "Pick your top 5 songs."
cat songs.txt | gum choose --limit 5
```
Or, allow any number of selections with the `--no-limit` flag.
```bash
echo "What do you need from the grocery store?"
cat foods.txt | gum choose --no-limit
```
#### Confirm
Confirm whether to perform an action. Exits with code `0` (affirmative) or `1`
(negative) depending on selection.
```bash
gum confirm && rm file.txt || echo "File not removed"
```
#### File
Prompt the user to select a file from the file tree.
```bash
EDITOR $(gum file $HOME)
```
#### Pager
Scroll through a long document with line numbers and a fully customizable viewport.
```bash
gum pager < README.md
```
#### Spin
Display a spinner while running a script or command. The spinner will
automatically stop after the given command exits.
```bash
gum spin --spinner dot --title "Buying Bubble Gum..." -- sleep 5
```
Available spinner types include: `line`, `dot`, `minidot`, `jump`, `pulse`, `points`, `globe`, `moon`, `monkey`, `meter`, `hamburger`.
#### Table
Select a row from some tabular data.
```bash
gum table < flavors.csv | cut -d ',' -f 1
```
## Styling
#### Style
Pretty print any string with any layout with one command.
```bash
gum style \
--foreground 212 --border-foreground 212 --border double \
--align center --width 50 --margin "1 2" --padding "2 4" \
'Bubble Gum (1¢)' 'So sweet and so fresh!'
```
## Layout
#### Join
Combine text vertically or horizontally. Use this command with `gum style` to
build layouts and pretty output.
Tip: Always wrap the output of `gum style` in quotes to preserve newlines
(`\n`) when using it as an argument in the `join` command.
```bash
I=$(gum style --padding "1 5" --border double --border-foreground 212 "I")
LOVE=$(gum style --padding "1 4" --border double --border-foreground 57 "LOVE")
BUBBLE=$(gum style --padding "1 8" --border double --border-foreground 255 "Bubble")
GUM=$(gum style --padding "1 5" --border double --border-foreground 240 "Gum")
I_LOVE=$(gum join "$I" "$LOVE")
BUBBLE_GUM=$(gum join "$BUBBLE" "$GUM")
gum join --align center --vertical "$I_LOVE" "$BUBBLE_GUM"
```
## Format
`format` processes and formats bodies of text. `gum format` can parse markdown,
template strings, and named emojis.
```bash
# Format some markdown
gum format -- "# Gum Formats" "- Markdown" "- Code" "- Template" "- Emoji"
echo "# Gum Formats\n- Markdown\n- Code\n- Template\n- Emoji" | gum format
# Syntax highlight some code
cat main.go | gum format -t code
# Render text any way you want with templates
echo '{{ Bold "Tasty" }} {{ Italic "Bubble" }} {{ Color "99" "0" " Gum " }}' \
| gum format -t template
# Display your favorite emojis!
echo 'I :heart: Bubble Gum :candy:' | gum format -t emoji
```
For more information on template helpers, see the [Termenv
docs](https://github.com/muesli/termenv#template-helpers). For a full list of
named emojis see the [GitHub API](https://api.github.com/emojis).
## Examples
See the [examples](./examples/) directory for more real world use cases.
How to use `gum` in your daily workflows:
#### Write a commit message
Prompt for input to write git commit messages with a short summary and
longer details with `gum input` and `gum write`.
Bonus points: use `gum filter` with the [Conventional Commits
Specification](https://www.conventionalcommits.org/en/v1.0.0/#summary) as a
prefix for your commit message.
```bash
git commit -m "$(gum input --width 50 --placeholder "Summary of changes")" \
-m "$(gum write --width 80 --placeholder "Details of changes (CTRL+D to finish)")"
```
#### Open files in your `$EDITOR`
By default, `gum filter` will display a list of all files (searched
recursively) through your current directory, with some sensible ignore settings
(`.git`, `node_modules`). You can use this command to easily to pick a file and
open it in your `$EDITOR`.
```bash
$EDITOR $(gum filter)
```
#### Connect to a TMUX session
Pick from a running `tmux` session and attach to it. Or, if you're already in a
`tmux` session, switch sessions.
```bash
SESSION=$(tmux list-sessions -F \#S | gum filter --placeholder "Pick session...")
tmux switch-client -t $SESSION || tmux attach -t $SESSION
```
#### Pick commit hash from your Git history
Filter through your git history searching for commit messages, copying the
commit hash of the commit you select.
```bash
git log --oneline | gum filter | cut -d' ' -f1 # | copy
```
#### Skate Passwords
Build a simple (encrypted) password selector with [Skate](https://github.com/charmbracelet/skate).
Save all your passwords to [Skate](https://github.com/charmbracelet/skate) with `skate set github@pass.db PASSWORD`, etc...
```
skate list -k | gum filter | xargs skate get
```
#### Choose packages to uninstall
List all packages installed by your package manager (we'll use `brew`) and
choose which packages to uninstall.
```bash
brew list | gum choose --no-limit | xargs brew uninstall
```
#### Choose branches to delete
List all branches and choose which branches to delete.
```bash
git branch | cut -c 3- | gum choose --no-limit | xargs git branch -D
```
#### Choose pull request to checkout
List all PRs for the current GitHub repository and checkout the chosen PR (using [`gh`](https://cli.github.com/)).
```bash
gh pr list | cut -f1,2 | gum choose | cut -f1 | xargs gh pr checkout
```
#### Pick command from shell history
Pick a previously executed command from your shell history to execute, copy,
edit, etc...
```bash
gum filter < $HISTFILE --height 20
```
#### Sudo password input
See visual feedback when entering password with masked characters with `gum
input --password`.
```bash
alias please="gum input --password | sudo -nS"
```
