Ghostty vs gitsome

Ghostty is a free, open-source terminal emulator for macOS and Linux. It renders with Metal on macOS and OpenGL on Linux for GPU acceleration, while native interface components provide multiple windows, tabs, and split panes. Its shared libghostty core handles terminal emulation, fonts, and rendering through a cross-platform C ABI. Ghostty includes hundreds of themes and can follow system light and dark modes automatically. It supports the Kitty graphics protocol for terminal images and provides automatic shell integration for bash, elvish, fish, nushell, and zsh. SSH integration can forward environment variables and install Ghostty terminfo entries on remote hosts. macOS Secure Keyboard Entry helps protect passwords from other processes, and official macOS binaries are signed and notarized. Ghostty is licensed under MIT and fiscally sponsored by Hack Club, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. Community help is available through GitHub Discussions and Discord; there is no dedicated support team. The Ghostty plan is free, described as free and open source with no commercial backing.

gitsome is a free Git and GitHub command-line interface intended to make Git and shell work easier. It includes 29 GitHub-integrated commands that work across shells. Its optional shell adds autocomplete and interactive help for Git commands, options, branches, tags, Git-Extras, and GitHub integration commands. It can also suggest shell commands, files, directories, environment variables, man pages, and Python. Fish-style suggestions and a Python REPL through xonsh are available, alongside command history and customizable ANSI highlighting. gitsome integrates with GitHub and GitHub Enterprise and can be used with Git-Extras and hub commands. It is distributed through PyPI for pip3 installation and can also run in Docker. The listed operating systems are macOS, Linux, Unix, and Windows. GitHub integration may require account credentials, two-factor authentication, a personal access token, or other connection details. The README lists Python 3.4 through 3.7 as supported and says xonsh does not support Python 2.x. On Windows, gh user and gh me display text-only avatars. PyPI lists version 0.8.4, uploaded April 7, 2019, as the latest release.
