gin

Git Issue Navigator (gin)

View the issues of a GitHub or GitLab repository directly from your command line.

Features

• Browse all issues (open/closed) from both local and remote repositories

Installation

go install github.com/glad-dev/gin@latest

Usage

Configuring authentication tokens

Authenticate with the GiHub/GitLab APIs by importing tokens with gin config add. If $XDG_CONFIG_HOME is set, the tokens are stored at $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/gin/, otherwise ~/.config/gin is used.

Creating a GitLab token

Create a token with scopes read_api, read_user and read_repository in Preferences > Access Tokens.

Creating a GitHub token

Create a classic token with scopes repo and read_user in Settings > Developer settings > Personal access token.

Viewing issues

• To view the issues of a remote repository, use gin issues --url https://github.com/path/to/your/repo.
• To view the issues of the repository you're currently in, use gin issues
