Interactive terminal app to browse and manage your GitHub repositories. Built with Ink (React for CLIs) and the GitHub GraphQL API.
🌐 Website: gh-manager-cli.dev · 📦 npm: gh-manager-cli · 📜 Changelog: CHANGELOG.md
Stop clicking through GitHub's slow web interface. Managing dozens of repos on github.com means endless page loads, multiple clicks per action, and no keyboard shortcuts. gh-manager-cli replaces all of that with fast, keyboard-first terminal commands:
- Whole account loaded in the background — browse, filter, and fuzzy-search everything instantly
- Single keypress for any action — archive, delete, rename, transfer, change visibility, sync forks
- Bulk operations — act on many repos at once
- Instant updates — no page reloads
Fast, keyboard-first GitHub repo management from your terminal
