# Gum

Latest Release GoDoc Build Status

Gum is a collection of command-line utilities that make your shell scripts a little more glamorous. It gives you the power of [Bubbles](https://github.com/charmbracelet/bubbles) and [Lip Gloss](https://github.com/charmbracelet/lipgloss) without needing to write any Go code. ```bash # Prompt users for input NAME=$(gum input --placeholder "What is your name?") # Style some text gum style --foreground 212 --padding "1 4" \ --border double --border-foreground 57 \ "Nice to meet you, $NAME." # Do some work while spinning gum spin --title "Taking a nap..." --color 212 -- sleep 5 # Fuzzy find a file or directory find . -type f | gum filter ``` The following example is running from a [single bash script](./examples/demo.sh). Shell running the Gum examples/demo.sh script ## Installation Use a package manager: ```bash # macOS or Linux brew tap charmbracelet/tap && brew install charmbracelet/tap/gum # Arch Linux (btw) pacman -S gum # Nix nix-env -iA nixpkgs.gum # Debian/Ubuntu echo 'deb [trusted=yes] https://repo.charm.sh/apt/ /' \ | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/charm.list sudo apt update && sudo apt install gum # Fedora echo '[charm] name=Charm baseurl=https://repo.charm.sh/yum/ enabled=1 gpgcheck=0' | sudo tee /etc/yum.repos.d/charm.repo sudo yum install gum ``` Or download it: * [Packages][releases] are available in Debian and RPM formats * [Binaries][releases] are available for Linux, macOS, and Windows Or just install it with `go`: ```bash go install github.com/charmbracelet/gum@latest ``` [releases]: https://github.com/charmbracelet/gum/releases ## Interaction #### Input Prompt your users for input with a simple command. ```bash gum input > answer.text ``` Shell running gum input typing I love bubble gum <3 #### Write Prompt your users to write some multi-line text. ```bash gum write > story.text ``` Shell running gum write typing My favorite flavors are: #### Filter Allow your users to filter through a list of options by fuzzy searching. ```bash echo Strawberry >> flavors.text echo Banana >> flavors.text echo Cherry >> flavors.text cat flavors.text | gum filter > selection.text ``` Shell running gum filter on different bubble gum flavors #### Choose Ask your users to choose an option from a list of choices. ```bash echo "Pick a card, any card..." CARD=$(gum choose --height 15 {{A,K,Q,J},{10..2}}" "{♠,♥,♣,♦}) echo "Was your card the $CARD?" ``` Shell running gum choose on a deck of cards, picking the Ace of Hearts You can also set a limit on the number of items to choose with the `--limit` flag. ```bash echo "Pick your top 5 songs." cat songs.txt | gum choose --limit 5 ``` Or, allow any number of selections with the `--no-limit` flag. ```bash echo "What do you need from the grocery store?" cat foods.txt | gum choose --no-limit ``` #### Progress Display a progress bar while loading. The following command will display a progress bar and increment the progress by 10% every 1 second. Thus, taking 10 seconds to complete the progress bar. ```bash gum progress --increment 0.1 --interval 1s ``` Shell running gum progress #### Spinners Display a spinner while taking some running action. We specify the command to run while showing the spinner, the spinner will automatically stop after the command exits. ```bash gum spin --spinner dot --title "Buying Bubble Gum..." -- sleep 5 ``` Shell running gum spin while sleeping for 5 seconds ## Styling and Layout #### Style Pretty print any string with any layout with one command. ```bash gum style \ --foreground 212 --border-foreground 212 --border double \ --align center --width 50 --margin "1 2" --padding "2 4" \ 'Bubble Gum (1¢)' 'So sweet and so fresh!' ``` Bubble Gum, So sweet and so fresh! #### Join Combine text vertically or horizontally with a single command, use this command with `gum style` to build layouts and pretty output. Note: It's important to wrap the output of `gum style` in quotes to ensure new lines (`\n`) are part of a single argument passed to the `join` command. ```bash I=$(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" "$BUBBLE_GUM" ``` I LOVE Bubble Gum written out in four boxes with double borders around them. #### Format Format allows you to take some text and stylize it. `gum format` can parse markdown, code, template strings, and emoji strings. For example, we can output a markdown list with the following command: ```bash gum format -- "# Gum Formats" "- Markdown" "- Code" "- Template" "- Emoji" echo "# Gum Formats\n- Markdown\n- Code\n- Template\n- Emoji" | gum format ``` Format markdown displaying a markdown list with content of different possible formats Apply syntax highlighting to code with `gum format -t code`: ```bash cat main.go | gum format -t code ``` Format code command displaying a simple Hello, world! Go program with syntax highlighting. Render a template string with `gum format -t template`: ```bash echo '{{ Bold "Tasty" }} {{ Italic "Bubble" }} {{ Color "99" "0" " Gum " }}' \ | gum format -t template ``` Format template command displaying Tasty Bubble Gum in different styles Render some emojis with `:emoji:` syntax with `gum format -t emoji`. ```bash echo 'I :heart: Bubble Gum :candy:' | gum format -t emoji ``` Format emoji command displaying I :heart: Bubble Gum :candy:. ## Examples See the [examples](./examples/) directory for more real world use cases. How to use `gum` in your daily workflows: #### Write a commit message Prompt for user input to write git commit messages with a short summary and longer details with `gum input` and `gum write`. Bonus points if you use `gum filter` with the [Conventional Commits Specification](https://www.conventionalcommits.org/en/v1.0.0/#summary) as a prefix for your commit message. ```bash git commit -m "$(gum input --width 50 --placeholder "Summary of changes")" \ -m "$(gum write --width 80 --placeholder "Details of changes")" ``` Running the ./examples/commit.sh script to commit to git #### Open files in your `$EDITOR` By default `gum filter` will display a list of all files (searched recursively) through your current directory, it has some sensible ignored defaults (`.git`, `node_modules`). You can use this to pick a file and open it in your `$EDITOR`. ```bash $EDITOR $(gum filter) ``` #### Connect to a TMUX session Pick from a running `TMUX` session and attach to it if not inside `TMUX` or switch your client to the session if already attached to a session. ```bash SESSION=$(tmux list-sessions -F \#S | gum filter --placeholder "Pick session...") tmux switch-client -t $SESSION || tmux attach -t $SESSION ``` Picking a tmux session with gum filter #### Pick commit hash from history Filter through your git history searching for commit messages and copy the commit hash of the selected commit. ```bash git log --oneline | gum filter | cut -d' ' -f1 # | copy ``` Picking a commit with gum filter #### 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 ``` ## Feedback We’d love to hear your thoughts on this project.
