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).

## 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
```
#### Write
Prompt your users to write some multi-line text.
```bash
gum write > story.text
```
#### 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
```
#### 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
```
#### 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
```
## Styling and Layout
#### Style
Pretty print any string with any layout with one command.
```bash
gum style \
--foreground "#FF06B7" --border "double" --align "center" \
--width 50 --margin "1 2" --padding "2 4" \
"Bubble Gum (1¢)" "So sweet and so fresh\!"
```
```
╔══════════════════════════════════════════════════╗
║ ║
║ ║
║ Bubble Gum (1¢) ║
║ 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=$(gum style --padding "1 5" --border double "I")
LOVE=$(gum style --padding "1 4" --border double "LOVE")
BUBBLE=$(gum style --padding "1 8" --border double "Bubble")
GUM=$(gum style --padding "1 5" --border double "Gum")
I_LOVE=$(gum join "$I" "$LOVE")
BUBBLE_GUM=$(gum join "$BUBBLE" "$GUM")
gum join --align center --vertical "$I_LOVE" "$BUBBLE_GUM"
```
```

║ I ║║ LOVE ║
║ ║║ ║

╔══════════════════════╗╔═════════════╗

```
## Examples
See the [examples](./examples/) directory for more real world use cases.
How to use `gum` in your daily workflows:
#### 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 $(gum filter)
```
#### Write a commit message
Prompt for user input to write git commit messages with a short summary and
longer details with `gum input` and `gum write`.
Bonus points if you use `gum filter` with the [Conventional Commits
Specification](https://www.conventionalcommits.org/en/v1.0.0/#summary) as a
prefix for your commit message.
```bash
git commit -m "$(gum input --width 50 --placeholder "Summary of changes")" \
-m "$(gum write --width 80 --placeholder "Details of changes")"
```
#### Connect to a TMUX session
Pick from a running `TMUX` session and attach to it if not inside `TMUX` or
switch your client to the session if already attached to a session.
```bash
SESSION=$(tmux list-sessions -F \#S | gum filter --placeholder "Pick session...")
tmux switch-client -t $SESSION || tmux attach -t $SESSION
```
