Ever since I discovered `gh`, I stopped going on the website itself. Stuff like this just makes it even more unlikely I'll return :-D

oh this is amazing. funny that they are self aware enough to talk about reducing context switching

who are 'they'?

the makers of the github CLI ‘gh’ which is github themselves.

Thank you as well. :)

Thanks for the reply. :)

Since the terminal is having its renaissance right now, I find it really great. VS Code with its integrated bash really shines here, all my developer tooling is right there with [CTRL] + [J] (cargo, pnpm, uv, you name it), all the code and docs live right in the repo with the keyboard friendly explorer and general keyboard friendly UX of VS Code (I touch the mouse like once an hour).

And with the gh cli, I dont even need to visit the overloaded github website anymore for PRs, Issues, Discussions etc, I can read it write in my terminal with pure text, no nonesense in it, clean and minimal, exactly what I need to be productive - and like you said, no context switching.

P.S.: It also feels like I am living in those futuristic 80/90s Cyberpunk Animes and Mangas where everything was a terminal/tui B-)
