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.

Prompt for the scope of these changes:
```bash
gum input --placeholder "scope"
```
Prompt for a commit message:
Prompt for the summary and description of changes:
```bash
gum input --placeholder "Summary of this change"
gum input --value "$TYPE$SCOPE: " --placeholder "Summary of this change"
gum write --placeholder "Details 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.
Confirm before committing:
```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"
```
For a working version of the script see how it is all [put together](https://github.com/charmbracelet/gum/blob/main/examples/commit.sh) in a single script.

## 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 <command> --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:
You can customize `gum` options and styles with `--flags` and `$ENVIRONMENT_VARIABLES`.
See `gum <command> --help` for a full view of each command's customization and configuration options.
Customize with `--flags`:
```bash
gum input --cursor.foreground "#FF0" --prompt.foreground "#0FF" --prompt "* " \
--placeholder "What's up?" --width 80 --value "Not much, hby?"
gum input --cursor.foreground "#FF0" \
--prompt.foreground "#0FF" \
--placeholder "What's up?" \
--prompt "* " \
--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.
Customize with `ENVIRONMENT_VARIABLES`:
