gh-claude

A modern, keyboard-first TUI for managing GitHub issues and pull requests across multiple repositories. It uses Textual for the interface, GitHub CLI for data, and Claude Code for issue drafting and analysis.

License: MIT

PyPI: gh-claude
Repository: masaaaaa725/ghc

Requirements

Install

pip install gh-claude
# or
uv tool install gh-claude

Update an existing uv tool install:

uv tool upgrade gh-claude

Publishing

Every push to main runs .github/workflows/publish.yml, which bumps the patch version in pyproject.toml, publishes that version to PyPI, and commits the bump back to main (with [skip ci] to avoid a loop).

One-time setup on PyPI (Trusted Publishing):

  1. Open PyPI publishing settings for gh-claude
  2. Add a GitHub publisher:
    • Owner: masaaaaa725
    • Repository: ghc
    • Workflow: publish.yml
    • Environment: pypi
  3. In GitHub, create an Environment named pypi (Settings → Environments)

After that, merges to main publish automatically. Users can then run uv tool upgrade gh-claude.

Run

gh-claude
# alias
ghc

From a local checkout:

uv sync
uv run gh-claude

The app detects the GitHub repository in the current directory. Press r or Ctrl+P to switch to any repository returned by gh repo list.

Choosing a Claude model

By default, ghc uses whatever model the claude CLI defaults to. Set a starting model with the --model flag:

ghc --model claude-opus-4-6

To avoid passing the flag every time, set the GHC_MODEL environment variable, or persist a default in ~/.config/ghc/config.toml:

model = "claude-sonnet-4-6"

Precedence: --model flag > GHC_MODEL environment variable > config file > the claude CLI's own default.

Press m at any time inside ghc to switch models without restarting — pick a preset or type any model ID. The active model is shown in the footer.

Keyboard shortcuts

  • ↑ / ↓: move the selection in the Issues or Pull Requests list
  • ← / →: switch between the Issues and Pull Requests tabs
  • f: cycle the status filter (OPEN → CLOSED → ALL for Issues; includes MERGED / DRAFT for PRs)
  • r / Ctrl+P: searchable repository picker (↑/↓ to move, Enter to select, Esc to cancel)
  • c: turn rough notes into a reviewed GitHub issue with Claude
  • s: summarize the selected issue or pull request with Claude
  • o: check out the selected pull request as a local branch
  • v: review the selected pull request diff with Claude
  • a: draft, preview, and post an AI-polished comment
  • Ctrl+E: create an Issue branch and let Claude implement the selected Issue
  • i / p: switch to Issues / Pull Requests
  • Ctrl+R / F5: refresh Issues and Pull Requests for the current repository
  • Ctrl+C: quit

All external commands are executed without a shell via asyncio.create_subprocess_exec. GitHub read operations request JSON explicitly; commands such as gh pr diff, gh pr checkout, gh issue create, and gh issue comment are exceptions because those GitHub CLI commands do not support --json.

Ctrl+E is intentionally limited to the repository currently checked out on disk. After confirmation, it creates issue-<number>-<slug> with git checkout -b, then runs Claude Code in print mode. Claude is instructed not to commit, push, or modify unrelated files; always review the working tree after it finishes.

Test

uv run pytest

A note on package security

PyPI is a repository for distributing packages, not a service for auditing them. While third-party security researchers and our staff do their best to detect and remove malicious packages, PyPI cannot guarantee the quality, security or suitability of any given package.
