git install hub go

Use standalone install or

install hub from source

-> Go programming language needed

$ wget https://storage.googleapis.com/golang/go$VERSION.$OS-$ARCH.tar.gz

find a suitable version on golang page or on ubuntu packages

To custom location

$HOME/gofolder
$ cd ~/gofolder
$ tar -xzf go$VERSION.$OS-$ARCH.tar.gz

add go/bin to ~/.profile
```
export GOROOT=$HOME/gofolder
export PATH=$PATH:$GOROOT/bin
```

or through sudo into

/usr/local
$ tar -C /usr/local -xzf go$VERSION.$OS-$ARCH.tar.gz

add to PATH

$ export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/go/bin

$ cd /hub/install/folder

$ git clone https://github.com/github/hub.git
$ cd hub

anywhere in ~
$ ./script/build -o ~/bin/hub

$HOME/bin is added to $PATH by ~/.profile so hub should be set to go

if you'd prefer to locate the built file elsewhere you can create a symlink
$ sudo ln -s location/to/my/build/hub /usr/local/bin/hub

The script hub.bash_completion.sh is located in hub/etc folder. Adding the block below into ~/.bashrc enables the auto-completion

if [ -f /path/to/hub.bash_completion ]; then
    . /path/to/hub.bash_completion
