Maintainer’s Note

I have not had as much time for extra-curriculars as I once had. At this point, I will never catch up to the obvious successor of this package, Forge, nor would I really want to :smile:

Please check out that project instead! I believe there are things a GitHub-specific package could do that don’t make sense to generalize, but Forge has served me well for the 95%.

If you have a vision and would like to take over maintainership, reach out!

Magithub

[ GitHub Commits ]!(//github.com/vermiculus/magithub/releases)

Magithub is a collection of interfaces to GitHub integrated into [Magit][magit] workflows:

Push new repositories
Fork existing ones
List and create issues and pull requests
Keep offline notes for your eyes only
Write comments
Manage labels and assignees
Stay up-to-date with status checks (e.g., CI) and notifications
…

as well as support for working offline.

Happy hacking!

Quick Start

GitHub rate-limits unauthenticated requests heavily, so Magithub does not support making such requests. Consequently, ghub must be authenticated before using Magithub — [see its README][ghub] for those instructions.

(use-package magithub
  :after magit
  :config
  (magithub-feature-autoinject t)
  (setq magithub-clone-default-directory "~/github"))

See [the full documentation][magithub-org] for more details.

Getting Help

See [the FAQ][magithub-org-faq] in the full documentation. If your question isn’t answered there, [drop by the Gitter room]!((https://gitter.im/vermiculus/magithub)).

Support

I’m gainfully and happily employed with a company that frowns on moonlighting, so unfortunately I can’t accept any monetary support. Instead, [please direct any and all support to Magit itself][magit-donate]!

Note

There used to be another magithub: [nex3/magithub][old-magithub]. It’s long-since unsupported and apparently has many issues (see [nex3/magithub#11][old-magithub-11] and [nex3/magithub#13][old-magithub-13]) and was [removed from MELPA][melpa-1126] some years ago. If you have it installed or configured, you may wish to remove/archive that configuration to avoid name-clash issues. Given that the package has been defunct for over three years and is likely abandoned, the present package’s name will not be changing.
