Stop clicking through GitHub's slow web interface. Managing dozens of repos on github.com means endless page loads, multiple clicks per action, and no keyboard shortcuts. gh-manager-cli replaces all of that with fast, keyboard-first terminal commands:
- Whole account loaded in the background — browse, filter, and fuzzy-search everything instantly
- Single keypress for any action — archive, delete, rename, transfer, change visibility, sync forks
- Bulk operations — act on many repos at once
- Instant updates — no page reloads
Fast, keyboard-first GitHub repo management from your terminal
# Run with npx (no install)
npx gh-manager-cli@latestThe npm package contains the application directly. See Installation for apt, global npm, Homebrew, and standalone binary options.
On first run, you'll be prompted to authenticate with GitHub (OAuth recommended). See Token & Security.

Listing • Auth • Delete confirmation
- Authentication — GitHub OAuth (recommended) or Personal Access Token, stored with
0600perms - Background fetch-all — your entire account cached after the first page, so filter/sort/search are instant
- Fuzzy search (
/) — instant, typo-tolerant, no network calls (powered by fuse.js) - View filters (
V) — visibility, archive, and fork filters in one modal - Repository actions — info, open, rename, transfer, copy URL, delete, archive, change visibility, star, sync fork
- Bulk Select mode (
B) — star, archive, change visibility, delete, and transfer many repos at once - Organisation & Enterprise support — switch contexts (
W), Internal visibility, ENT badge - Fork ahead/behind tracking, colour themes (
Shift+T), display density (T), collapsible key hints (H), and rate-limit monitoring
See the Features and Usage & Controls pages for the full list and every keybinding.
