git-repl(1) -- git read-eval-print-loop
SYNOPSIS
git-repl
git-repl [command...]
DESCRIPTION
Git read-eval-print-loop. Lets you run git commands without typing 'git'.
Commands can be prefixed with an exclamation mark (!) to be interpreted as a regular shell command.
Any arguments to git repl will be taken collectively as the first command to execute in the repl.
Type exit, quit, or q to end the repl session. Ctrl-D and Ctrl-C
will also work.
COMMANDS
<command>
Interpreted as git <command>.
!<command>
Interpreted as <command> (not through git).
ls
Equivalent of 'git ls-files'.
exit|quit|q
Ends the repl session.
CONFIGURATION
Commands entered in a repl session will be saved to a history file and be available in
future sessions, similar to a shell or programming language repl. By default,
the global history file is at ~/.local/state/git_extras_repl_history. You can specify that your projects
each have their own independent history file. This file will be saved in .git_repl_history
at the top level of the repo, and will need to be added to the repo or global .gitignore.
# remove the --global flag to configure only an individual project to have its own history file
git config --global git-extras.repl.use-local-history "true"
You can specify a default command to run when hitting enter:
git config --global git-extras.repl.on-enter-command "git status -sb"
You can configure which character is used at the end of the prompt
(default >):
git config --global git-extras.repl.prompt-character "±"
You can specify the prefix for the prompt (default git):
git config --global git-extras.repl.prefix ""
You can have the name of the current git repo shown in the prompt
(default false):
git config --global git-extras.repl.show-project-name "true"
EXAMPLES
$ git repl
git version 2.34.1
git-extras version 7.3.0
Type 'ls' to ls files below current directory; '!command' to execute any command or just 'subcommand' to execute any git subcommand; 'quit', 'exit', 'q', ^D, or ^C to exit the git repl.
