Linux / Unix desktop fun: gti get jeep/car when you mistype git

gti is nothing but humorous typo-based git runner. It drives a car over the terminal. Type the followingapt command/apt-get command on a Debian / Ubuntu Linux after enabling gti viaadd-apt-repository

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mamantoha/gti

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install gti

Fedora Linux user type the following dnf command:

Execute the following brew command on a macOS Unix desktop:

Run the following pkg_add command command on a OpenBSD:

FreeBSD user type the following pkg command:

Arch Linux user try the pacman command:

sudo pacman -S gti-git

Next, Grab source code using the git command

$ git clone https://github.com/rwos/gti.git

$ cd gti

$ make

$ sudo make install

I just mistypes git command as gti:

$ gti command

$ gti clone https://github.com/nixcraft/domain-check-2.git

As you might have guessed by now, gti is intended to catch accidental typos of ‘gti’ instead of ‘git’. It displays an animation of a car driving by and then launches git. Any parameters or arguments given to gti will be passed through to the actual git binary. The car image is derived from the look of an old VW Golf GTI.

Set GIT so that gti command respects the $GIT environment variable. If GIT is set, its value will be used to launch git after the animation finishes, instead of searching for git in your PATH:

export GIT=/opt/bin/git

gti clone foo

Want to control the speed of the gti command animation? Set GTI_SPEED (the default is 1000):

GTI_SPEED=2000 gti push ..

GTI_SPEED=2000 gti pull ..

GTI_SPEED=4000 gti clone ..
