gh-tools

github tools based on gh cli

Install (macOS)

Install gh-issues command:

cd gh-tools
./install.sh

If /usr/local/bin is not writable, installer uses ~/.local/bin. You can also choose your own install path:

./install.sh --prefix "$HOME/bin"

After install, run directly:

gh-issues owner/repo --state all --limit 50

gh_issues.nu

Export issues (with comments) of a repository to local markdown files.

Usage:

gh-issues owner/repo [--state open|closed|all] [--limit N] [--outdir DIR]

Or run without installation:

nu gh_issues.nu owner/repo [--state open|closed|all] [--limit N] [--outdir DIR]

Details:

• Default output directory is the repo name (the part after the slash). Override with --outdir.
• File naming pattern: issue_<number>.md.
• Each file includes: metadata header, body, comments.
• Auth required: run gh auth login first and ensure access to the repo.
• Progress line shows index, percentage, elapsed (e) and estimated remaining time (eta).

Example:

nu gh_issues.nu nushell/nushell --state all --limit 50
