ghi is a command-line tool for managing GitHub Issues directly from the terminal, letting users list, open, close, edit, comment on, and label issues without a browser. It is written in Ruby and supports editor-based workflows via $EDITOR.

Use cases

• manage github issues from the terminal
• list and close issues without opening a browser
• comment on github issues using my editor
• assign issues and manage labels and milestones via cli
• enable or disable issues for a repo from the command line

When to choose

• you live in the terminal and want fast GitHub issue triage
• you prefer editing issue text in your own $EDITOR
• you want a lightweight scriptable alternative to the GitHub web UI for issues

When to avoid

• you need GitHub pull request management or full GitHub API coverage
• you want a GUI or web-based issue board
• you need actively developed features; the project is in maintenance mode with a fork as the maintained successor
