Oh wow, its like git commands for my ...terminal? All jokes aside, this is actually really helpful, but as someone who uses the terminal on a daily basis, I have the commands for Git like baked into memory (or at least the ones I use on a regular basis), and wouldn't be interested in trying to change my work flow (a lot of my stuff is scripted). However, for someone learning git using github, something like this could be extremely helpful!

  Actually it does much more than that. You can create issues on GitHub, list all pull requests from all repositories you own, and so on...

    I know, its pretty cool; Thats why it was a joke. Im a purist when it comes to my technology, and like to keep my git separate from my github. I don't feel like mixing their metaphorical peanut butter with my metaphorical chocolate. I don't use github for all my repos so I dont want to have commands that don't simply work on , say my bitbucket repos.

      How do you generally do issue tracking, particularly when a project you join has already picked a system?

        I have ruby scripts that talk to JIRA (which is the one we use at my shops(and most shops I worked at), however if I have to I usually just end up using their system separately (like going into it manually and updating it. It helps me keep my update to the system very accurate and complete.

I usually just view the website for GitHub specifics. Can anyone who uses a GitHub CLI application in their workflow explain how this compares to "hub" and the other applications? The only "extension" to git I've gotten comfortable with is Git Flow since that just makes what I would already do easier. Is there really some big improvement to be had by incorporating a tool like this into my workflow?

Additionally, there's hub [0], by a developer at GitHub. It can have 'git' aliased to it, and then pass through the git commands it doesn't handle. 0: http://defunkt.io/hub/ http://defunkt.io/hub/

Looks quite nice. But it definitely needs improvement. I think it would be much better to specify a repo using user/repo syntax instead of "-u user -r repo". Also if I'm in a git repository it should use the origin repo and NOT myusername/currentdirectory. For now a combination of hub & ghi works better for me.

  Just to let you know that a lot of those improvements are already implemented on core :) For example, now we're using origin repo instead of myusername/currentdir

it's not entirely clear what the value of --submit represents. i know that it's required and it's an account name on gh. i suspect it's the account of the target repo? if so perhaps it should not be required and should default to the origin, no?
