Gum helps you write glamorous bash scripts by providing a collection of
beautiful and highly configurable ready-to-use utilities.

## Tutorial

With Gum, you can build wonderful and useful bash scripts 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/bash`.
```bash
#!/bin/bash
```

Ask the user for the commit type with `gum choose`:

```bash
gum choose "fix" "feat" "docs" "style" "refactor" "test" "chore" "revert"
```

> Note: this command itself will print to `stdout` which is not all that useful.
To make use of the command later on you should save the stdout to a `$VARIABLE`
or `file.txt`.

Prompt for an (optional) scope for the commit:

```bash
gum input --placeholder "scope"
```

Prompt the user 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"
```

Putting it all together...

```bash
#!/bin/bash
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.
[[ -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")

# Commit these changes
git commit -m "$SUMMARY" -m "$DETAILS"
```

## 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
```

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 different use cases. All
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
all the command's customization and configuration options.

For example, let's customize the cursor color, prompt color, prompt indicator,
placeholder text, width, and pre-populate the value of the input:
```bash
gum input --cursor.foreground "#FF0" --prompt.foreground "#0FF" --prompt "* " \
    --placeholder "What's up?" --width 80 --value "Not much, hby?"
```

## Interaction

#### Input
Prompt your users for input with a simple command.

```bash
gum input > answer.text
```

<img src="https://stuff.charm.sh/gum/input.gif?cache=1" width="600" alt="Shell running gum input typing Not much, you?" />

#### Write

Prompt your users to write some multi-line text.

```bash
gum write > story.text
```

<img src="https://stuff.charm.sh/gum/write.gif" width="600" alt="Shell running gum write typing a story" />

#### 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
```

<img src="https://stuff.charm.sh/gum/filter.gif?cache=1" width="600" alt="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?"
```

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
```

<img src="https://stuff.charm.sh/gum/choose.gif?cache=1" width="600" alt="Shell running gum choose with numbers and gum flavors" />

#### Spin

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
```

<img src="https://stuff.charm.sh/gum/spin.gif?cache=2" width="600" alt="Shell running gum spin while sleeping for 5 seconds" />

## 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!'
```

<img src="https://stuff.charm.sh/gum/style.gif" width="600" alt="Bubble Gum, So sweet and so fresh!" />

## Layout

#### 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"
```

<img src="https://stuff.charm.sh/gum/join.gif" width="600" alt="I LOVE Bubble Gum written out in four boxes with double borders around them." />

## Format

The `format` command allows you to take some text and stylize it. `gum format`
can parse markdown, code, template strings, and emoji strings.

```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
```

## 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")"
```

#### 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
```

#### 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
```

<img src="https://stuff.charm.sh/gum/commit-picker.png" width="500" alt="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
```
