Tutorial - Part 2: Installation and setup

Installation

The recommended way to install git-machete depends on your setup.

On macOS, we recommend using Homebrew.

brew install git-machete

On almost any system, if you have Python and pip installed, the following should work:

pip install --user git-machete

For other common installation methods (Windows, Nix, conda, etc.), see the README, Install section. For the complete list of known wrapper packages for git-machete, see PACKAGES.

Shell completions

git-machete comes with shell completion support. If you installed via Homebrew, it might already be set up. Otherwise, add the following to your shell configuration file (.bashrc, .zshrc, or config.fish):

Bash: source <(git machete completion bash)

Zsh: source <(git machete completion zsh)

Fish: git machete completion fish | source

Shell aliases

For a smoother experience, you might want to set up some shell aliases to save typing. A common practice is to alias git to g in your shell configuration:

alias g=git

You can also add a git alias for machete:

git config --global alias.m machete

This allows you to run g m instead of git machete.
