Installation and Setup

Prerequisites

• x-cmd CLI installed
• Git installed and configured
• Internet connectivity for platform operations

Platform Authentication

GitHub Setup

x gh init  # Interactive configuration
x gh --cfg token=<github-token>

Get GitHub token from: https://github.com/settings/tokens

GitLab Setup

x gl init  # Interactive configuration
x gl --cfg token=<gitlab-token>

Get GitLab token from: https://gitlab.com/-/profile/personal_access_tokens

Codeberg Setup

x cb init  # Interactive configuration
x cb --cfg token=<codeberg-token>

Get Codeberg token from: https://codeberg.org/user/settings/applications

Forgejo Setup

x fjo init  # Interactive configuration
x fjo --cfg token=<forgejo-token>

Configure Forgejo instance and token

Git Hooks Configuration

# Apply hooks configuration
x githook apply

# Clear hooks configuration
x githook clear

Integration with Other Tools

AI and Code Assistance

• Use --co flag for AI code copilot functionality
• Use ddgoai for AI-powered search and summarization
• Integrate with other AI tools for code generation

Data Processing and Analysis

• Pipe output to x jq for JSON processing
• Use with @zh for Chinese translation
• Export to CSV/TSV for reporting and analysis

Development Workflows

• Combine with x curl for API interactions
• Use with shell scripts for automation
• Integrate with CI/CD pipelines

Troubleshooting

Common Issues

• Authentication errors: Verify API tokens and permissions
• Network connectivity: Check internet connection for platform operations
• Permission issues: Ensure appropriate repository access rights
• Configuration problems: Verify platform-specific settings

Performance Optimization

• Use specific queries rather than broad searches
• Cache authentication tokens securely
• Use interactive interfaces for complex operations
• Limit API calls to respect rate limits

Security Best Practices

• Token security: Store API tokens securely and rotate regularly
• Access control: Follow principle of least privilege for repository access
• Audit logging: Maintain records of platform operations
• Compliance: Ensure usage complies with platform terms of service
