What we like

Exposes key GitHub primitives in your status bar - issues, PRs, releases, actions, checks, latest activity. Dig into each repo to browse open issues, PRs, etc. Shows local Git state so you can easily switch worktrees. Will automatically discover local repos. Bundles a basic CLI to get the data in your terminal.

Source is available on GitHub, but there’s no license (yet?).
