Using GitUp Command Line Tool

Pierre-Olivier Latour edited this page Mar 2, 2016 · 1 revision

Overview

GitUp comes with an optional companion command line tool which lets you control GitUp from the terminal. You can for instance use it to open the current repository in GitUp simply by typing gitup.

Installation & Usage

You can install the tool from the "GitUp" menu. The installation simply creates a symlink at /usr/local/bin/gitup to the actual tool embedded inside the GitUp app bundle.

IMPORTANT: This ensures that the gitup tool is always up-to-date but if you move the GitUp app to another location on disk, you will need to re-install the tool for it to continue working.

To learn more about the GitUp command line tool, simply type this command:

$ gitup help

Uninstallation

Simply delete the symlink at /usr/local/bin/gitup like this:

$ sudo rm /usr/local/bin/gitup
