I read this as "Github gives out CLI edition"

Me too. Maybe this should be renamed to something like 'CLI tool for GitHub Issues'?

They already have:

I've been using the ghi gem by Stephen Celis recently. It's a lot more comprehensive:

https://github.com/stephencelis/ghi

I've been using this a lot too and loving it. Very convenient.

I didn't install it, but the table looks unuseful. I usually want to have the whole title of an issue more than more space used by the date and the person and the table in between.

I use ghi, from the python package github_cli

easy_install github_cli

and it looks better imo. http://i.imgur.com/if0ed.png http://i.imgur.com/qthdS.png

"Disclaimer

This tool is not official. It just uses the GitHub API and that's it."

Headline is wildly inaccurate.

I don't understand what the purpose of this is? It just gives me a list of issues? and I can't interact with them?

I also came here to say that. What is the motivation behind this work or just "because we can"?

nice and all, but what i really want from github is the ability to pull request from the command line. (i know it's scriptable, but I've not got round to it yet)

One of my coworkers recently put this together. It lets you issue pull requests from the command line. Check it out:

Like hubs' pull-request?

I have to second the hub suggestion.

I use it daily and it's a timesaver. The syntax for creating a pull request from a branch on a non-forked remote forces you to always pass the -h option, but beyond that it's amazingly simple.

Also, you can very easily associate a pull request with an issue. If you're using GitHub issues for feature planning it makes it very nice.

looks great, thanks for the suggestion
