# github plugin
This plugin supports working with GitHub from the command line. It provides a few things:
> [!WARNING]
> This plugin is deprecated and will be removed in a future release. It supports
> the legacy [`hub`](https://github.com/mislav/hub) CLI, not the current GitHub
> CLI. For `gh` completion, use the [`gh` plugin](../gh) instead.
* Sets up the `hub` wrapper and completions for the `git` command if you have [`hub`](https://github.com/github/hub) installed.
* Completion for the [`github` Ruby gem](https://github.com/defunkt/github-gem).
* Convenience functions for working with repos and URLs.
The plugin provides compatibility for existing `hub` users by:
### Functions
- aliasing `git` to `hub` when `hub` is installed;
- adding completion for `hub`; and
- defining convenience functions for creating repositories.
* `empty_gh` - Creates a new empty repo (with a `README.md`) and pushes it to GitHub
* `new_gh` - Initializes an existing directory as a repo and pushes it to GitHub
* `exist_gh` - Takes an existing repo and pushes it to GitHub
## Migrating to GitHub CLI
## Installation
[Hub](https://github.com/github/hub) needs to be installed if you want to use it. On OS X with Homebrew, this can be done with `brew install hub`. The `hub` completion definition needs to be added to your `$FPATH` before initializing OMZ.
The [`github` Ruby gem](https://github.com/defunkt/github-gem) needs to be installed if you want to use it.
### Configuration
These settings affect `github`'s behavior.
#### Environment variables
* `$GITHUB_USER`
* `$GITHUB_PASSWORD`
#### Git configuration options
* `github.user` - GitHub username for repo operations
See `man hub` for more details.
### Homebrew installation note
If you have installed `hub` using Homebrew, its completions may not be on your `$FPATH` if you are using the system `zsh`. Homebrew installs `zsh` completion definitions to `/usr/local/share/zsh/site-functions`, which will be on `$FPATH` for the Homebrew-installed `zsh`, but not for the system `zsh`. If you want it to work with the system `zsh`, add this to your `~/.zshrc` before it sources `oh-my-zsh.sh`.
Install [GitHub CLI](https://cli.github.com/), replace `github` with `gh` in
your plugin list, and restart your shell:
```zsh
if (( ! ${fpath[(I)/usr/local/share/zsh/site-functions]} )); then
FPATH=/usr/local/share/zsh/site-functions:$FPATH
fi
plugins=(... gh)
```
The `gh` plugin supplies completion for the installed GitHub CLI. It does not
alias `git`, because `gh` is not a Git wrapper.
The closest replacement for creating a GitHub repository from an existing
local repository is:
```zsh
gh repo create --source=. --push
```
## Deprecated functions
- `empty_gh` - creates a new repository with a `README.md` and pushes it to GitHub
- `new_gh` - initializes an existing directory and pushes it to GitHub
- `exist_gh` - pushes an existing Git repository to GitHub
These functions remain available during the deprecation period and require
`hub`. They will be removed with the plugin.
If you continue using `hub`, see its documentation for authentication and
configuration details.
