In their own words

gitsome

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.

Tabby

Tabby is a free, open-source terminal app for Windows, macOS, and Linux. It connects to local shells, serial devices, SSH servers, and Telnet hosts, and supports shell environments including PowerShell, WSL, Git-Bash, Cygwin, and CMD. Its SSH2 client has a connection manager, while the serial terminal offers connection profiles and input modes. SSH sessions support SFTP and Zmodem file transfers, X11 and port forwarding, jump hosts, and agent forwarding. Tabby can restore open tabs and split panes after you leave the app, and nested panes support simultaneous input. SSH secrets and configuration can be stored in an encrypted container; an optional password manager uses a master passphrase. Customization includes CSS themes, color schemes, shortcuts, and plugins. Other listed capabilities include GPU acceleration, session sync, scripting, portable mode, Explorer integration, and WinSCP integration. The app is described as forever-free FOSS. The page provides download and GitHub links but states no dedicated support terms.
