README
hub is a command line tool that wraps git
in order to extend it with extra
features and commands that make working with GitHub easier.
For an official, potentially more user-friendly command-line interface to GitHub, see cli.github.com and this comparison.
This repository and its issue tracker is not for reporting problems with GitHub.com web interface. If you have a problem with GitHub itself, please contact Support.
Usage
$ hub clone rtomayko/tilt
#=> git clone git://github.com/rtomayko/tilt.git
# if you prefer HTTPS to git/SSH protocols:
$ git config --global hub.protocol https
$ hub clone rtomayko/tilt
#=> git clone https://github.com/rtomayko/tilt.git
See usage examples or the full reference documentation to see all available commands and flags.
hub can also be used to make shell scripts that directly interact with the GitHub API.
hub can be safely aliased as git
, so you can type $ git
<command>
in the shell and have it expanded with hub
features.
Installation
The hub
executable has no dependencies, but since it was designed to wrap
git
, it's recommended to have at least git 1.7.3 or newer.

after installing a community package.
Standalone
hub
can be easily installed as an executable. Download the latest
binary for your system and put it anywhere in your executable path.
GitHub Actions
hub is ready to be used in your GitHub Actions workflows:
steps:
- uses: actions/[email protected]
- name: List open pull requests
run: hub pr list
env:
GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
Note that the default secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN
will only work for API operations
scoped to the repository that runs this workflow. If you need to interact with other
repositories, generate a Personal Access Token with at least the repo
scope
and add it to your repository secrets.

Aliasing
Some hub features feel best when it's aliased as git
. This is not dangerous; your
normal git commands will all work. hub merely adds some sugar.
hub alias
displays instructions for the current shell. With the -s
flag, it
outputs a script suitable for eval
.
You should place this command in your .bash_profile
or other startup script:
eval "$(hub alias -s)"
PowerShell
If you're using PowerShell, you can set an alias for hub
by placing the
following in your PowerShell profile (usually
~/Documents/WindowsPowerShell/Microsoft.PowerShell_profile.ps1
):
Set-Alias git hub
A simple way to do this is to run the following from the PowerShell prompt:
Add-Content $PROFILE "`nSet-Alias git hub"
Note: You'll need to restart your PowerShell console in order for the changes to be picked up.
If your PowerShell profile doesn't exist, you can create it by running the following:
New-Item -Type file -Force $PROFILE
Shell tab-completion
hub repository contains [tab-completion scripts](./etc) for bash, zsh and fish. These scripts complement existing completion scripts that ship with git.
