## What it is
RepoBar is a native macOS menu bar app that shows the status of GitHub repositories at a glance, including CI state, issues, pull requests, releases, activity, and rate limits. It also surfaces local checkout state like branch, dirty files, and ahead/behind status for configured repositories.

## Use cases
- monitor CI status of my GitHub repos from the menu bar
- see open issues and pull request counts without opening browser tabs
- get notified about new releases of repositories I maintain
- track local git checkout state alongside remote repo status
- watch my GitHub API rate limit usage
- view contribution heatmaps for my repositories
- manage many repositories across organizations in one menu

## When to choose
- you are a maintainer tracking many GitHub repositories daily
- you want a native macOS menu bar app instead of browser dashboards
- you need private repository support via GitHub App or GitHub Enterprise
- you want local checkout state visible next to remote repo state

## When to avoid
- you are not on macOS 15 or newer
- you need a cross-platform or Linux/Windows solution
- you prefer a CLI-only or web-based dashboard
- you don't use GitHub (e.g., GitLab or Bitbucket)
