Top 23 Go Shell Projects

  3. gum

    A tool for glamorous shell scripts 🎀

    Project mention: 5 Local Environment Mistakes I See Everywhere, and How to Fix Them Properly | dev.to | 2025-03-21

    There are tools built exactly for that. One of the best is Gum - a small utility that helps build terminal user interfaces with checkboxes, file pickers, prompts, and more:

  4. direnv

    unclutter your .profile

    Project mention: Shell-secrets – GPG-encrypted environment variables | news.ycombinator.com | 2025-04-17

    Unless you're good at actually maintaining your gpg keychain and need other people to access this, I really wouldn't bother with gpg. There are way better and simpler options.

    Age has a simpler interface and SSH key support https://github.com/FiloSottile/age

    ejson2env has the environment variable integration and ejson has multiple backends https://github.com/Shopify/ejson2env

    direnv can support any cli secrets manager per project directory https://direnv.net/

    I've dealt with enough "why did this break" situations with gpg secrets files used by capable teams that I'd never recommend that to anyone.

  5. sampler

    Tool for shell commands execution, visualization and alerting. Configured with a simple YAML file.

    Project mention: Sampler, visualization for any shell command | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-07-17

    For the uninitiated like me, you have to hit the globe so it takes you to https://github.com/sqshq/sampler to find out more.

  6. webhook

    webhook is a lightweight incoming webhook server to run shell commands

  7. Wave Terminal

    An Open-Source, AI-Native, Terminal Built for Seamless Workflows.

    Project mention: Wave – open-source terminal file previews, editing, AI, web and workspaces | news.ycombinator.com | 2025-04-20

  10. script

    Making it easy to write shell-like scripts in Go

    Project mention: Goscript: Go For (go-pher?) Scripting | dev.to | 2025-04-15

    Goscript is an opinionated tool aimed at making scripting in Go more convenient. It was inspired by bitfield/script, which brings functionality similar to Unix pipes to Go. By opinionated, I mean that Goscript embraces Go modules (rather than GOPATH with modules turned off) and uses a dedicated module project for your "scripts". It asks you to update your PATH as part of the setup so that your scripts can be immediately available as system-wide commands. It enables treating Go code like a local script with --exec and shebang options, but encourages reuse by letting you name your commands and then saving them, together with source, in your dedicated Goscript project. Finally, its many options are designed to make the project fade into the background and make writing scripts in Go convenient and easy like your favorite scripting language.

  11. elvish

    Powerful scripting language & versatile interactive shell

  13. hishtory

    Your shell history: synced, queryable, and in context

    Project mention: Some Terminal Frustrations | news.ycombinator.com | 2025-02-09

    I actually made a CLI tool (https://github.com/ddworken/hishtory) that automatically binds to Control+R to support both history searching and AI queries (by prefixing queries with `?`).

    Here's the prompt engineering I did: https://github.com/ddworken/hishtory/blob/master/shared/ai/a...

  14. bunster
